The hydropower generating potential of Nepal is calculated as one of the highest in the world but only about 12 percent of the population is connected to the national electricity grid. The percapita energy consumption is one of the lowest in the world and more than 90 percent of the energy use is in the domestic sector, mainly for cooking. Nepal's agrarian economy is fully dependent on imports for all of its chemical fertilizer, petroleum and coal requirements. The growing population and small scale industries are pushing the use of traditional sources of energy (forest and agricultural waste) beyond the sustainable generation capacity of the existing forest and farm lands.

  • Why the Development of Internal Combustion Engines Is Still Necessary to Fight Against Global Climate Change from the Perspective of Transportation
    applied sciences Editorial Why the Development of Internal Combustion Engines Is Still Necessary to Fight against Global Climate Change from the Perspective of Transportation José Ramón Serrano * , Ricardo Novella and Pedro Piqueras CMT—Motores Térmicos, Universitat Politècnica de València, 46022 València, Spain; [email protected] (R.N.); [email protected] (P.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 26 September 2019; Accepted: 4 October 2019; Published: 29 October 2019 Internal combustion engines (ICE) are the main propulsion systems in road transport. In mid-2017, Serrano [1] referred to the impossibility of replacing them as the power plant in most vehicles. Nowadays, this statement is true even when considering the best growth scenario for all-electric and hybrid vehicles. The arguments supporting this position consider the growing demand for transport, the strong development of cleaner and more efficient ICEs [2,3], the availability of fossil fuels, and the high energy density of said conventional fuels. Overall, there seems to be strong arguments to support the medium-long-term viability of ICEs as the predominant power plant for road transport applications. However, the situation has changed dramatically in the last few years. The media and other market players are claiming the death of ICEs in the mid-term [4]. Politicians from several G7 countries, such as France, Spain, and the United Kingdom, have announced the prohibition of ICEs in their markets [5], in some cases, as early as 2040. Large cities, such London, Paris, Madrid, and Berlin, are also considering severe limits to ICE-powered vehicles. What is the analysis that can be made from this new situation? 1.

Piotrowo 3, 60-965 Poznań, email: [email protected] Abstract The article presents the conditions for the use of ethyl alcohol as a component and a sole fuel for internal combustion engines. Methods of ethanol production, its properties and the benefits and risks associated with using it as engine fuel have been described. The variants of commercial ethanol fuels allowed by law have also been presented. Ecological aspects of the use of ethanol fuels for modern internal combustion engines were presented. The opinion was expressed that although ethanol is used in bulk as a component of gasolines, its use as a self-contained fuel is and probably will continue to be small in the near future. Keywords: ethyl alcohol, combustion engines, motor fuels ALKOHOL ETYLOWY JAKO PALIWO DO WSPÓŁCZESNYCH SILNIKÓW SPALINOWYCH Streszczenie W artykule przedstawiono uwarunkowania stosowania alkoholu etylowego jako składnika oraz samodzielnego paliwa do silników spalinowych. Opisano metody produkcji etanolu, jego właściwości oraz korzyści i zagrożenia związane ze stosowaniem go jako paliwa silnikowego. Zaprezentowano dopuszczalne prawem warianty handlowych paliw etanolowych. Przedstawiono ekologiczne aspekty stosowania paliw etanolowych do współczesnych silników spalinowych. Wyrażono opinię, iż mimo, że etanol stosowany jest masowo jako komponent benzyn silnikowych, to jego zastosowanie jako samodzielnego paliwa jest i prawdopodobnie w najbliższej przyszłości będzie niewielkie.

Read Full License Page 1/57 Abstract Environmental pollution and depletion of resources from the combustion of fossil fuels have necessitated the need for biofuels in recent years. Oxygenated fuels such as low carbon alcohols have received signicant attention from the scientic community in the last two decades as a strategy to decarbonize the transport sector. However, a documentation of the progress, paradigm, and trend of this research area on a global scale is currently limited. In the current study, the bibliometric analysis is adopted to analyze the global transition of automotive fuels from conventional oils to low carbon alcohols in the 21st century. A dataset of 2250 publications was extracted from the Web of Science Core database and analyzed with CiteSpace, Biblioshiny, and Bibexcel. Interest in methanol and ethanol combustion research as transportation fuels is increasing, with a 70% estimated growth by the end of the next decade compared to current levels.

  • Alternative Fuels for Light-Duty Vehicles
    Replacing Gasoline: Alternative Fuels for Light-Duty Vehicles September 1990 OTA-E-364 NTIS order #PB91-104901 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Replacing Gasoline: Alternative Fuels for Light-Duty Vehicles, OTA-E-364 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1990). For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) Foreword Among the several major issues that Congress has addressed in the process of reauthorizing the Clean Air Act, the future role of alternative highway transportation fuels in reducing urban smog is one of the more prone to argument. Past attempts to reduce pollution levels from highway vehicles have focused primarily on the vehicles themselves; adjustments to fuels were considered mainly when these were necessary to allow vehicular controls to work (eliminating lead from gasoline was necessary to avoid poisoning the catalytic converters on the vehicles). As vehicular emissions control efficiencies rose past 90 percent and further improvements became more difficult, however, attention turned to the idea that some alternatives to gasoline have combustion and/or other physical and chemical properties that might allow the achievement of ultra-low emissions levels. The fuels of interest include methanol (wood alcohol), ethanol (grain alcohol), natural gas, electricity, and hydrogen. In this report, requested by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, which is part of OTA’s ongoing assessment of Technological Risks and Opportunities in Future U.S. Energy Supply and Demand, OTA gives a broad overview of the qualities of the competing fuels and examines in depth some of the most contentious issues associated with the wisdom of active Federal support for introducing the fuels.
