synthetic fuels biomass

These are material contained in the bodies of plants, and animals, which can be used as a fuel or act as a source of fuel. Typical examples of Biomass are, wood, animal dung, agricultural waste (such as, baggasse), wild grass and plants etc. Biomass is a con..

Biogas is a clean and efficient fuel. It is a mixture of methane (CH 4 ), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), hydrogen (H 2 ) and hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S). The chief constituent of biogas is methane (65%..

Fossil Fuels - Synthetic Petroleum and Synthetic Gas - In countries, where coal is easily available as compared to the rapidly depleting petroleum and natural gas, it is possible to avert the energy crisis by preparing petroleum and natural gas artificial..

Fossil fuels are energy-rich, combustible forms of carbon or compounds of carbon formed by the decomposition of biomass buried under the Earth over millions of year..

India produces only half of the national requirement of petroleum products and it imports the rest from other countries. Natural gas is the most popular petroleum product. During last two decades, the consumption of natural gas resources have increased tenfold. If we need to save fossil fuelsh..

The petrol obtained artificially from coal as a mixture of alkanes resembling petroleum like aliphatic hydrocarbon fuels is called synthetic petrol. Two important methods for producing synthetic petrol are the Fischer-Tropsch process and the Bergius process. These proc..

The first cavemen took firewood from the forests as fuel. Even today firewood is still the main source of fuel for cooking in many parts of the world. The material contained in the bodies of plants and animals is called 'biomass'. When the organisms die the biomas..
