Can biomass be converted to other fuels?
Yes
Who studied on alternative material source of fuel and energy?
Alternative fuels, also known as non-conventional or advanced fuels, are any materials or substances that can be used as fuels, other than conventional fuels. Conventional fuels include: fossil fuels (petroleum (oil), coal, propane, and natural gas), and nuclear materials such as uranium.Some well known alternative fuels include biodiesel, bioalcohol (methanol, ethanol, butanol), chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), hydrogen, non-fossil methane, non-fossil natural gas, vegetable oil and other biomass sources.
Are fossil fuels alternative energy?
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
What has the author Siddhartha Gaur written?
Siddhartha Gaur has written: 'An atlas of thermal data for biomass and other fuels' -- subject(s): Biomass energy, Thermal properties 'Thermal data for natural and synthetic fuels' -- subject(s): Thermal properties, Fuel, Synthetic fuels
Why are there so few cars powered by alternative fuels?
There aren't many cars powered by alternative fuels because some cost more and are hard to make and other fuels don't get you very far.
What are advantages of fossil fuels on other fuels?
The main advantage is that the government earns a lot of taxes on fossil fuels. Another advantage is the energy density, because it is higher than on alternative fuels.
Energy sources other than fossil fuels are?
Alternative Energy
Renewable rescources besides the sun?
Other renewable rescources include water, wind, biomass fuels, geothermal energy, and the tides.
What are an advantige and disadvantige of energy reasourse for fossil fuels?
A disadvantage of fossil fuels is that when you burn them to create energy, it pollutes the air. An advantage of fossil fuels is that we use them to power cars and many other things.
What are some Current uses of biomass?
Biomass can be used to generate electricity and to fuel our cars. Biomass generates electricity when the biogas is burned and this turns a turbine or a generator creating electricity. It fuels our cars by turning corn into ethanol for our cars. Hopefully this helps...:D
Is coal an alternative energy source?
No, coal is not an alternative energy source. "Alternative" energy sources means energy sources other than fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas).
Why is biomass a better alternative than coal?
The main advantage of biomass over coal is that it is "carbon neutral". This means that in order for the biomass to be created, it consumed carbon dioxide from the environment. Upon burning biomass, no additional carbon is added to our atmosphere. Coal, on the other hand, is taking carbon out of the earth and adding more to our atmosphere.
