Abstract: | ABSTRACT As oil prices increase, the interest in alternative fuels increases. This is evidenced by demonstration programmes and commitments by states such as India. The concern of the air quality in many areas around the world makes ?nding solutions more urgent. As the price of oil increases, alternate fuels become more ruthless. Major questions remain to be answered on which fuel or fuels will emerge and to what extent alternative sources will replace gasoline as the main product of crude oil. A combination of available alternative fuels will evolve with the most likely choices affected by a number of technical, political and market factors. In order to allow a wider application of alternative fuels, a number of obstacles have to be overcome. These include economic, technological, and infrastructural issues. In the past, gasoline has been plentiful and has had a signi?cant price advantage compared to other fuels. This could change quickly and alternative fuels would need to become more commonplace. One of the alternatives involves the more widespread use of biomass-produced fuels. In this paper describes that hydrogen as an alternative fuel. Hydrogen powered fuel cells could have wide applications, replacing batteries in many portable application, vehicle and using hydrogen for home electrical needs. |
