Answer:
Alkenes are not used as fuels because: They are scarce in nature. They are made from other hydrocarbons to make plastics, anti–freeze and many other useful compounds. They burn with a smoky flame due to less efficient, and more polluting incomplete combustion, so the heat energy release is lower than for alkanes.
