Today, fossil fuels are the main source of energy which fulfills the demand of energy of the worlds. The consumption of fossil fuels increasing day by day. This result in the non-stop rise in the prices and almost every country are trying to conserve their energy supply. Due to this, global market scenario changes rapidly which infuses the fear of gasoline depletion. On the other hand, the use of fossil fuels has adverse effect on the environment due to emission of CO, HC, NOx etc. Fusel oil contain alcohols (methyl, isoamyl, isobutyl, npropyl , ethyl), water (less amount), trace aldehydes, free acids and their esters. The carbon present in the alcohol and the fermentation process decides the composition of fusel oil. The fusel oil has near about same properties as alcohol fuels like octane number, high oxygen content, single boiling etc. That indicates that it can be used as alternative source of energy. Therefore, This paper reviews utilization of different alternative fuels like natural gas, biogas, biodiesel, alcohols, etc. |
