To achieve this first objective, DOE intends to pursue parallel strategies: Advance options for diverse energy resources and conversion devices for power. DOE will develop alternative fuels, including advanced biofuels, made from sustainable resources that can directly substitute for petroleum and use existing infrastructure.

Despite problems with its characteristics (toxicity; handling, storage and delivery requirements; and materials compatibility), methanol attracted a great deal of interest in the 1970s and later as an alternative fuel, partly because it can be produced from a number of raw and renewable resources.

At the same time, it’s becoming apparent that alternative-fuel solutions we’re looking at have big drawbacks, and that producing these fuels will take a lot of green power that will be needed to replace coal and gas on shore. The first was the American NS Savannah , built in the late 1950s at a cost of $46.9

In this way, bio-based materials face some of the same challenges to broader adoption that are also faced by alternative powertrain technologies and alternative fuels (many of which are also bio-based). Bio-based polymers can be made from a variety of sources including soybean, castor bean, corn, and sugar cane.

The first is that the cost of batteries for larger vehicle sizes (i.e. light trucks, vans and SUVs) is significantly higher than for smaller vehicles, so the incremental costs associated with large PEVs pose a major challenge. PEVs will continue to be more expensive to manufacture and purchase than conventional and hybrid vehicles.

Every time there is a conversion of energy from one form to another there are efficiency losses – a concept known as ‘energy vector transition’. For this reason the anodes of fuel cells need platinum to prevent rapid degradation. Hydrogen ions are highly acidic and thus highly corrosive.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix.

And, if you consider lifetime costs of owning an EV versus owning a traditional internal combustion car, even if the initial purchase price of the EV is much more than your combustion car and you have to replace a battery for $4,000 after 7-10 years, the EV still costs less to operate. nk Related Posts From Green Inc.
