Scientists and engineers have made significant advances over the
last two decades to achieve feasible, cost-efficient processes for
the large-scale production of alternative, environmentally friendly
sources of energy. Alcoholic Fuels describes the latest methods for
producing fuels containing varying percentages of alcohol alongside
the various applications they benefit, including combustion
engines, fuel cells, and miniature power generators.
Written by experts and innovators in the field, the chapters
address the development and application of all alcoholic fuels,
from production to end use. The first section of the book examines
the production of methanol, ethanol, and butanol from several
biomass sources, including corn, wood, and landfill waste. The
second section explores blended fuels, such as E10, E85, and
E-Diesel, and the third section focuses on applications of the
different alcohol fuel types, including fuel cells, reformers, and
generators. The book concludes with a discussion of the future
production, use, and impact of alcohol-based fuels on society.
Alcoholic Fuels provides a timely and practical source of
information for chemists, engineers, and scientists working with
alternative energy sources as well as managers, policymakers, and
consumers considering the use and implementation of alcoholic fuels
in automobiles and other energy conversion devices.
