Handbook of Alternative Fuel Technologies

The Handbook of Alternative Fuel Technologies offers a thorough guide to the science and available technologies for developing alternatives to petroleum fuel sources and petrochemical feedstocks. Following a global energy overview, it presents both short-term options for clean alternative energy sources alongside the development of long-term sustainable energy infrastructure. Detailing the chemical processes for each technology, the text assesses the environmental impact, benefits, and performance of the various energy processes and fuel products. It summarizes processing and transportation issues, safety concerns, and other practical considerations associated with alternative fuels and recommendations for feasible implementation.
