ALTERNATIVE FUELSJabari Green

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Wind – Windmills Solar – Solar panels Geothermal – Earth

core heat (Geothermal plant in Iceland)

Hydropower – Dam (Clyde Dam in New Zealand)

BIOMASS

Biological materials such as corn, switch grass, sugarcane, algae

Can be used as fuel i.e. Biofuels such as biodiesel

Biodegradable waste that can be burned as fuel

BIODIESEL CYCLE

COMPRESSED AIR

Air engine Emission free, 10

times less expensive than gasoline

Not as efficient Used in small drills

and early forms of self propelled torpedoes

HYDROGEN

Highly flammable Has to be produced by

other means such as electrolysis of water because there is no natural reserve of uncombined hydrogen in atmosphere

High energy content by weight, but low energy content by volume making it hard to store in vehicles

10 times more expensive than oil
