2.  The increase in energy consumption
particularly in the past several decades has
raised fears of exhausting vital natural
resources
 Rapidindustrialization and massive growth in
population has increased the dependence and
use of natural fuels
 Approximately90% of our energy
requirement are met by fossil fuels

3.  Studies suggest that if exploited at the same
rate, the coal reserves will deplete in the next
200-300 years and petroleum deposits will
deplete in the next few decades
 So,it is important for us to engage in
research and development of alternative fuels
so we may not face scarcity of natural
resources in the future

4.  Hydrogen
 Biodiesel
 Ethanol
 Biomass

5.  Clean source of fuel
 Extracted by electrolysis of H2O
 Helps lower CO2 emissions
 End product is H2O

6.  Widely used for Rocket Engines
 Used
for Internal Combustion Engines when
mixed with natural gas
 Used extensively in fuel cells

7.  Clean burning alternative fuel source
 Derived from Soy beans and animal fats
 Has same vehicular performance as Diesel
 Completely renewable fuel source

8.  Popularly
used in vehicles and power
generators

9.  Is a renewable energy source
 canbe produced from a variety of feedstock
such as sugar cane, potatoes, sweet potatoes,
molasses, corn, etc.
 Mostly produced by Fermentation
 Is a particulate-free burning fuel source

10.  Most commonly used to power automobiles
 Additive for gasoline

11.  Is
the most important source for energy
productions supplied by agriculture
 Is
a “carbon lean” fuel producing a fraction of
the Carbon emissions of fossil
 Anaerobic digestion converts biomass,
especially waste product such as municipal
solid waste and market waste.

12.  Canoffer local business opportunities and
support the rural economy
 Can be used as a domestic fuel
 Used for boilers

13.  The alternative fuel sources are environment-
friendly as opposed to fossil fuels
 Byusing alternative sources we can reduce,
Air pollution, soil pollution and water
pollution
 Using
alternative fuel helps diminish Global
Warming

14.  Due to technological advancements vehicles
are made with improved fuel efficiency and
also perfect hybrid vehicle are available
 Throughout the year these sources are
available without affecting the Environment
 Helps conserve natural resources
