Answer:

Some well-known alternative fuels include bio-diesel, bio-alcohol (methanol, ethanol, butane), refuse-derived fuel, chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), hydrogen, non-fossil methane, non-fossil natural gas, vegetable oil, propane and other biomass sources.

✏ Some Alternative of wood fuel are :-

1. Hydrogen

  • Hydrogen is the chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1.
  • With a standard atomic weight of 1.008, hydrogen is the lightest element in the periodic table.
  • Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all baryonic mass.

2. Alcohol fuel

  • Various alcohols are used as fuel for internal combustion engines.
  • The general chemical formula for alcohol fuel is CnH2n+1OH.
  • The first four aliphatic alcohols (methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol) are of interest as fuels because they can be synthesized chemically or biologically, and they have characteristics which allow them to be used in internal combustion engines.

3. Biomass

  • Biomass is plant or animal material used for energy production (electricity or heat), or in various industrial processes as raw substance for a range of products.
  • It can be purposely grown energy crops (e.g. miscanthus, switchgrass), wood or forest residues, waste from food crops, horticulture, food processing animal farming, or human waste from sewage plants.

4. Biogas

  • Biogas is the mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen (anaerobically), primarily consisting of methane and carbon dioxide.
  • Biogas can be produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food waste.
  • Biogas is a renewable energy source.

5. Biodiesel

  • Biodiesel is a form of diesel fuel derived from plants or animals and consisting of long-chain fatty acid esters.
  • It is typically made by chemically reacting lipids such as animal fat (tallow),soybean oil, or some other vegetable oil with an alcohol, producing a methyl, ethyl or propyl ester.

✒ What are Alternative Fuels?

  • Alternative fuels, known as non-conventional and advanced fuels, are any materials or substances that can be used as fuels.
  • But other than conventional fuels like; fossil fuels (petroleum (oil), coal, and natural gas), as well as nuclear materials such as uranium and thorium.
  • As well as artificial radioisotope fuels that are made in nuclear reactors.

✒ What is Fuel ?

  • A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases energy as heat energy or to be used for work.
  • The concept was originally applied solely to those materials capable of releasing chemical energy.
  • The heat energy released by reactions of fuels is converted into mechanical energy via a heat engine.
