Alternative Fuel for Transportation

The world of century 2000 present many critical challenges. One of the most important challenges concerns the environment. As population increases and the standard of living improves, there is an increasing concern that there will a shortage of energy to heat our homes and power the vehicles we clean air, clean water and biodegradable, renewable materials. Advances in technology have allowed development of alternative energy sources. Ethanol is a good alternative energy sources. My present paper focuses attention towards not only the Types of energy resources to be used i.e. Nonconventional sources but the Alarming question is “How much and way of Producing and Managing Energy”? So we are giving more attention towards the better and better exploitation of Energy through Biological Approach i.e. Use of Bioenergy. Increased use of ethanol as fuel has developed since the late 1970’s. It was first used as product extender because of gasoline shortage. The OPEC action called attention to the fact that the United States was extremely dependent on foreign oil. The focus shifted once again to the alternative fuel such as ethanol. At that time gasoline containing ethanol was called gasoline. Later on unleaded plus or super unleaded are two examples of names used today. Ethanol, used as gasoline component, improves combustion and reduces emission of CO which contributes to the formation of smog. Using ethanol can slow global warming. During past two decades enormous efforts were made to harness Bioenergy sources in India to meet up the growing demand of energy for domestic use in particular, as such Department of NonConventional Energy Sources (DNES) under the Ministry of Power and Energy was setup in 1982.So the urgent need of the day is to implement the process and use of Biological energy in our day to day life to make our Environment Pollution free and our country self dependent and reliable in this field.
