Written primarily for fleet management personnel with purchasing,
maintenance, or operations responsibilities, Alternative Fuels:
Emissions, Economics, and Performance provides essential
information for those who are considering adding
alternatively-fueled vehicles to their fleets. Readers will gain a
solid understanding of the fundamentals of alternative fuels and
the factors that need to be considered when evaluating their use.
No prior knowledge of alternative fuels is necessary. Basic
information on the various alternative fuels and objective data on
the costs of converting, fueling, and operating
alternatively-fueled vehicles is covered in this book. Fuel cost,
performance, reliability, and availability are addressed. The book
also discusses the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act and the
1992 Comprehensive National Energy Policy Act. A summary of Texas'
state law, considered to be representative of state legislation on
alternative fuels and a glossary of key terms, are also included.
Eight chapters cover: Review of Engine Technology; Characteristics
of Alternative Fuels; Conversion of Spark Ignition Engines;
Conversion of Compression Ignition Engines; Refueling Facilities;
Legislation and Policies; and Cost Considerations. The book is also
an ideal introduction to the topic for legislators, administrators,
educators, and anyone interested in learning more about alternate
fuels.
