How do you oxygenate gasoline?
You can make ethanol (drinking alcohol) and power your car with that, or you can put biofuel into your car if it runs diesel.
Which is the best alcohol at producing energy and why?
Ethanol, due to it's inherent properties as a fuel. Brazil produces alot of Ethanol and is about to become energy independent because of it. But check this out: Crops such as corn, Sugar cane, beets, etc.. are converted to alcohol. In the case of corn to ethanol, it is energy negative. It takes 71% more energy to produce ethanol than is obtained from the ethanol. Also, using grain such as corn for fuel precludes it from being used as food for humans or livestock. It is also hard on the land. In United States corn production, soil erodes some 20-times faster than soil is formed. Ethanol has less energy per volume than does gasoline, so more gasoline has to be purchased to make up the difference. Also, ethanol is not environmentally friendly, as advocates would like to believe. Pimentel (1998) states: "Ethanol produces less carbon monoxide than gasoline, but it produces just as much nitrous oxides as gasoline. In addition, ethanol adds aldehydes and alcohol to the atmosphere, all of which are carcinogenic. When all air pollutants associated with the entire ethanol system are measured, ethanol production is found to contribute to major air pollution problems." With a lower energy density than gasoline, and adding the petroleum energy used to plow, plant, cultivate, and transport the corn for ethanol production, ethanol does not save gasoline nor does it's use reduce atmospheric pollution. A comprehensive study of converting biomass to liquid fuels by Giampietro and others (1997) concludes: "Large-scale biofuel production is not an alternative to the current use of oil, and is not even an advisable option to cover a significant fraction of it." Solar Energy is the only way to fly ;-)
What is the main chemical in biofuel?
The main component is ethanol.
Does pumps require energy?
Yes, they require a biofuel
How can biofuel production increase carbon dioxide levels?
Biofuel production does not increase carbon dioxide levels. Biofuel comes from recently grown vegetation of many kinds. When the vegetation grew earlier in the season it took carbon dioxide out of the air. When the biofuel is extracted and burnt that same carbon dioxide is released into the air again. There is no increase of carbon dioxide. Biofuel is carbon neutral. This is the problem with fossil fuels, who took carbon from the air many millions of years ago. Suddenly releasing this now is adding to the greenhouse gas levels and causing global warming.
What is a biofuel vehicle?
Gasoline biofuel is a mixture of gasoline and ethanol. Ethanol is a plant based alcohol, I.E. biological. Biodiesel works the same was but is an oil not an alocohol. The diesel engine was original designed and ran on a biofuel(peanut oil).
Does Mexico use biofuel?
No. Due to an almost negligible support from the Mexican government, biofuel cannot compete against gasoline or diesel.
Do biofuels produce oxygen?
There has not been a biofuel developed that produces oxygen as a byproduct.
What is biofuel made from?
Vegetable Oil is used to make biodiesel, and corn is used to make ethanol for a gasoline substitute.
Which renewable energy source can run a traditional car?
Biofuel is renewable.One kind of biofuel is alcohol made from plants, will power a regular car. Ethanol is used in many countries to either replace or add to fossil fuel gasoline.
What does biofuel mean?
A biofuel is either a solid, liquid, or gas that is made from recently living material. A biofuel produces less CO2 when burnt than a fossil fuel would. Biofuels are frequently used to power cars, trucks, tractors, etc. and to heat homes or other buildings.
What is biofuel combined with regular gasoline called?
Ethanol,a type of alcohol is produced mostly from corn,but other organic substances can also be used.
Biofuel Vehicles Use Renewable Resources ?
Biofuel vehicles use renewable resources, such as crops like corn, sugarcane, or soybeans, to produce fuel. These crops are grown and harvested continuously, making them a sustainable source of energy for vehicles. By using biofuels, we can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly transportation system.
Development of a bio fuel to replace gasoline?
Biofuel is something that should be developed more. It can be made out of many things, including corn and vegetable oil.
What is the name of gasoline made from corn?
The percentage of gasoline that is ethanol differs according to the type of gasoline measured. On average, though, most gasoline is at least 13% to 15% ethanol made from corn.
What are the different types of fuel?
Petrol (Gasoline) Diesel LPG Biofuel Hydrogen (theoretical - Gyro-Magnetical - as a source of energy)
How do you get energy from biofuel?
There are many ways in which you could get energy from biofuel. You could for example burn the biofuel substance.
