fossil fuel
71Wood fuel — is wood used as fuel. The burning of wood is currently the largest use of energy derived from a solid fuel biomass. Wood fuel can be used for cooking and heating, and occasionally for fueling steam engines and steam turbines that generate… …
72Membraneless Fuel Cells — convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy without the use of a conducting membrane as with other types of fuel cells. In Laminar Flow Fuel Cells (LFFC) this is achieved by exploiting the phenomenon of non mixing laminar flows where… …
73Water Fuel Museum — The Water Fuel Museum, also known as the Kentucky Water Fuel Museum, a self funded alternative energy museum located near downtown Lexington, Kentucky, opened at 1012 Manchester Street in the fall of 2005, and closed one year later.… …
74Ethanol fuel energy balance — † depending on production method All biomass needs to go through some of these steps: it needs to be grown, collected, dried, fermented, and burned. All of these steps require resources and an infrastructure. The total amount of energy input into …
75Butanol fuel — Butanol may be used as a fuel in an internal combustion engine. Because its longer hydrocarbon chain causes it to be fairly non polar, it is more similar to gasoline than is ethanol. Butanol has been demonstrated to work in some vehicles designed …
76Oxy-fuel combustion process — Oxyfuel CCS power plant operation Oxy fuel combustion is the process of burning a fuel using pure oxygen instead of air as the primary oxidant. Since the nitrogen component of air is not heated, fuel consumption is reduced, and higher flame… …
77Molten carbonate fuel cell — Scheme of a molten carbonate fuel cell Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) are high temperature fuel cells, that operate at temperatures of 600°C and above. Molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) are currently being developed for natural gas, biogas …
78Nahal Zin fuel leak — The Nahal Zin fuel leak (Hebrew: אסון נחל צין) was a severe ecological disaster caused in June 2011 when a backhoe loader struck and ruptured an underground fuel pipeline in southern Israel. 1.5 million liters of jet fuel leaked into the… …
79Solid fuel — refers to various types of solid material that are used as fuel to produce energy and provide heating, usually released through combustion. Solid fuels include wood (see wood fuel), charcoal, peat, coal, Hexamine fuel tablets, and pellets made… …
80Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation — The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) in the United Kingdom is a requirement on transport fuel suppliers to ensure that, by 2010, 5% of all road vehicle fuel is supplied is from sustainable renewable sources. It is expected that the… …
