FUEL
Any material that stores energy that can laterbe extracted to perform mechanical work in a
controlled manner. Most fuels used by humans
undergo combustion, a redox reaction in whicha combustible substance releases energy afterit ignites and reacts with the oxygen in the air.
Other processes used to convert fuel intoenergy include various other exothermicchemical reactions and nuclear reactions, such
as nuclear fission or nuclear fusion

group of chemical compounds whose moleculescontain a hydroxyl group, -OH, bonded to acarbon atom
Ethanol melts at -114.1C, boils at 78.5C, andhas a density of 0.789 g/ml at 20C. Its lowfreezing point of temperatures below -40C, Auto
ignition temperature being 423C. Specific gravity of Ethanol is 0.79
Octane number of 106-111
Calorific value of 11,500

GASOHOL Ethanol fuel mixtures have "E" numbers which
describe the percentage of ethanol fuel in themixture by volume, for example, E85 is85% anhydrous ethanol and 15% gasoline.
Gasoline is the typical fuel mixed with ethanolbut there are other fuel additives that can bemixed, such as an ignition improver used in theE95 Swedish blend. Low ethanol blends, fromE5 to E25, are also known as gasohol, thoughinternationally the most common use of theterm gasohol refers to the E10 blend.
India is under E5 norms.

STARCH TO ETHANOL (MAIZE)Disadvantages Maize:
large amounts of high quality land needed. displaces traditional commodity crops (Soy
bean)Maize will be diverted from export markets
raising prices on international market. (Japan,Mexico, Africa etc.)
Maize will be diverted from feed market Engines must be modified; costly but feasible;
fueling stations must be modified (feasible).
Possible pressure to utilize virgin lands/ forestarea.

WHAT IS BIODIESEL ? Alternative fuel for diesel engines
Made from vegetable oil or animal fat
Lower emissions, High flash point (>300F), Safer
Biodegradable, Essentially non-toxic.
Chemically, biodiesel molecules are produced usually from
triglyceride esters (transesterification) Pure Biodiesel (B100) or blended with petroleum diesel
(B20, BXX).

BIODIESEL: PLANT OILS CONVERTED TO DIESELAdvantages
fossil energy ratio between 2 to 3. Greenhouse gasreduction 40 to 70% over conventional diesel perkm.
Soybean oil is cheap because it is a byproduct.Soybean meal is of higher market value.
It is 11% oxygen by weight and contains no sulfur
Biodiesel is safe to store, and has a high flashpoint
Biodiesel Lowers toxic emissions and ParticulateMatter (PM)
Biodiesel has greater Cetane (50-56) and Lubricity

8/2/2019 Biofuel and Biodiesel
30/41
Disadvantages Jatropha produces 1/6 as much fuel per acre as corn
ethanol.
Land consumption. In India maize is more profitable It gives out more nitrogen oxide emissions (Nitrogen
oxide emissions from biodiesel blends could possibly
be reduced by blending with kerosene) Transportation & storage at lower temperature areas. Soybean oil will be more expensive if soybean meal is
in surplus. For farmer total value is important.
Engine life decreases (Biodiesel has excellent solventproperties).
Large investments in infrastructure may be needed inthird world countries.
Cold Weather Operation.

E-DIESEL Uses additives (n-butanol, Butylated hydroxytoluene,
Tetranitromethane) in order to allow blending ofethanol with diesel.
Ethanol blends of 7.7% to 15% and up to 5%
Additives that prevent the ethanol and diesel from
separating at very low temperatures or if watercontamination occurs.

THE ULTIMATE FUEL: LIGNOCELLULOSE TOETHANOL.
Advantages: high yields per acre. The most abundant plant
product on earth. Estimated greenhouse gas reduction about 80
percent. Very large yield of biomass per acre. (example
eshel tamarisk tree. 10-12 tons/acre/year vrscorn 3.5 tons/ acre)
Different plant types for different soils, climates,can be developed and bred for higher yields.
Can be grown on marginal land.Generally need little fertilizer.
