What is one renewable fuel?

Answer 1

developing and implementing fuels

Answer 2

By this, do you mean kinds of renewable energy or resources in general? If you mean renewable energy sources, some examples are wind power, solar power, geothermal (uses heat from the ground), or hydroelectric (creates electricity using the power of water). Nuclear energy, although it releases no greenhouse gases and is environmentally friendly, is usually not considered a renewable energy. I don't know why.

If you're talking about actual resources of materials, all will eventually run out, even if not for a billion years. But nearly all won't run out in our lifetimes.

Answer 3

Basically, the renewable fuels are naturally produced biofuels, fuels synthesized using renewable resources, and hydrogen. Some examples of naturally produced biofuels are the following:

• fire wood
• vegetable oils
• animal fats and oils
• ethanol from fermentation of natural products
• methane captured from landfills or sewage treatment plants

Some examples of synthesized fuels that can be made from renewable resources include the following:

• wood gas, which is derived by pyrolizing wood
• charcoal, similarly derived
• gasses similar to wood gas, derived from algae, grass, or other sources
• methane derived by catalysis from wood gas or other sources
• methane derived by catalysis of carbon dioxide and hydrogen by using the Sabatier process
• methanol derived from carbon monoxide in wood gas or other sources by catalysis
• propane, renewable replacement for gasoline, and renewable replacement for diesel oil, derived from renewably synthesized methane by the Mobile process

Hydrogen can be produced in a variety of ways, including electrolysis of water.

The list of actual fuels is endless, and we can replace just about any fossil fuel with a renewable equivalent. Diesel fuel, for example, can be made from wood, at a rate of about one fifth of a liter per kilo of wood, or 120 gallons per cord of firewood. The renewable equivalents are usually superior to fossil fuels, because they do not have the impurities fossil fuels have.

Answer 4

Water, also known as hydropower, makes use of gravitational potential energy from water rushing down the dam and converts it to electrical energy. This method can be used to power many homes in the area, as well as irrigate plots of farmland, operate watermills etc.

Wind, using a wind turbine, can be used to turn it and produce electricity.

Sunlight, or solar power, converts sunlight using photovoltaic cells into electricity. This can be used to power homes, cars, streetlamps and many other appliances.

Answer 5

The other types of renewable resources that might be used to power vehicles are biofuels. These bio fuels are made of corn and soybeans.

Answer 6

Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and uranium (nuclear energy) are all non-renewable.

Answer 7

One renewable "fuel" is solar power. Wind power is another.
