Cost Reduction Battle! Another Cement Factory SRF Alternative Fuel Processing Center Has Been Put Into Operation!
In 2023, there are many projects for SRF alternative fuel processing of cement factories. The reason is that as the cement industry market continues to decline, cement companies have launched a "price reduction promotion" war. How to improve the comprehensive competitiveness of products and open source? How to save production costs and reduce expenditures? It has become the key to the ...

Ohio cuts alternative fuel mandate in transportation budget
On April 1, 2015, the Governor of Ohio, John Kasich (R), signed the 2016-2017 Transportation Budget Bill (Sub. H.B. 53). The state transportation budget does not include a requirement on alternative fuel use in the state vehicle fleet, a requirement that had been in place since 2006. Ohio Department of Transportation's Matt Bruning stated that the requirement mandated the state increase the ...

Additional language introduced to be attached to the alternative fuel tax credit
On March 26, 2015, Representative Todd Young (R-IN) introduced H.R. 1665, the Alternative Fuel Tax Parity Act, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to equalize the excise tax on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (propane). This legislation would attach federal tax parities for LNG and propane to the Alternative Fuel Tax Credit (AFTC) that currently covers alternative ...

Strategies for utilizing alternative fuels by Iranian passenger cars
Abstract: The current paper is an attempt to find a sustainable fuel strategy for passenger cars in Iran. Currently, most of Iran’s passenger cars consume gasoline, a non-renewable fossil fuel. This fuel has well-known environmental impacts, including various kinds of pollutions, as well as the threat of quick running out. These general negative characteristics of gasoline are amplified by the ...

Sustainable energy: the importance of consumer awareness, acceptance, and action
The debate about peak oil has been raging for the last 40 years, yet, the fact remains that oil is not a sustainable resource and will eventually run out. It is unclear whether the consumer has accepted this fact. In the meantime, preparation is needed to find truly 'alternative' fuels; however, such new technology requires consumer acceptance and support, not only to create the technology, but ...

Alternative Fuels for Air Pollution Control
Non-traditional, alternative fuels are all the rage now, especially with government pressure forcing increasing numbers of fossil-fired assets to shut down. While wind and solar have a place in our energy future, neither is reliable or inexpensive enough to be the complete answer. Industry is looking for new fuels that can replace coal, oil and natural gas. Proposed alternative fuels come in a ...

Governance of the emerging biofuel markets in European Union: the Portuguese context
European Union supports alternative fuels, in particular, biofuels to comply with the triple objective of reducing greenhouse gases emissions, diversifying fuel supply and developing long-term replacements for fossil fuels. The European Community set the goal to substitute 20% of the fossil fuels for road transport with alternative fuels by 2020 but the present market penetration of the biofuels ...

Reducing CO2 in the transport sector in Japan
In this paper, we have investigated the cost-effectiveness of alternative fuel vehicles as a measure for CO2 reduction. Computed results indicate that the installation of alternative fuel vehicles is much more expensive than fuel switching in industry or the power generation sector. However, some economic incentives will make the price go down to the level at which alternative fuel vehicles are ...

Practical guide to alternative fuel utilisation
Today’s business environment for the cement producers is becoming more challenging. Rising production costs and environmental regulations are only two of the main limiting factors. Therefore the cement industry is using alternative fuels. In most cement kiln processes today, the conventional fuels (primary fuels) are gas, fuel oil, various coals and petcoke. The required calorific values can be ...

Alternative Fuel from Waste
Alternative Fuel From Waste Municipal waste has always been seen by the public as the foul-smelling waste that nobody wants near home. In the last decades due to the cost increasing of raw materials for heating and electric energy production, it has begun to evaluate and use waste as an “alternative” energy source. But we should not forget that the greatest resource in the waste ...

Comparative performance of spark ignition engine using blends of various methanol percentages with low octane number gasoline
This study investigates the effect of methanol addition to low octane number gasoline, in terms of calorific value, octane number, compression ratio at knocking and engine performance. Locally produced gasoline (octane number = 87) was blended with five different percentages of methanol, namely 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% on volume basis. The properties of the respective fuel blends were first ...

The effects of biodiesel usage on the components of an engine
In this paper, the research results obtained on the influences of biodiesel on the components of an engine are presented. The study was carried out at the Dumlupinar University in Turkey. Biodiesel has been an alternative fuel for diesel engines since 1900s. However, the use of biodiesel has recently been increasing owing to indelible increase in petroleum price and consumption. Furthermore, the ...

After an alternative fuel experiment by a Chinese company, it was concluded that every 1.74t of alternative fuel can save 1t of coal.
Can alternative fuels really reduce fossil fuel use? How much coal can be saved by the use of alternative fuels? Below, a Chinese company conducted an experiment of SRF alternative fuel used in industrial kilns, exploring "How much coal can be saved by the use of alternative fuel?" in the process data and practical results. 1. Raw materials for testing Through the SRF alternative fuel preparation ...

[Video] Road Transport 2020: Truck Manufacturers Talk Industry Future
At the recent Microlise Transport Conference, we invited senior executives from the truck manufacturers to talk part in “Road Transport 2020”, a panel discussion run in association with Motor Transport (the media sponsor for the event) looking at the future of road transport. Co-hosted by Conference Chair Quentin Willson and Road Transport Media Managing Editor Chris Walton, a wide ...

Is it possible for alternative fuels to replace traditional fossil fuels as the mainstream?
If you were a coal-burning company, would you like to choose $60 alternative fuels per ton or $180 coal fuels per ton? Of course, such a direct comparison is not reasonable because alternative fuels differ from coal in terms of calorific value of combustion and disposal costs. Let us then calculate the actual economic benefits of alternative fuels compared to fossil fuels (as represented by coal) ...

Fuel Choice And Deregulation Act Of 2015 Introduced In The U.S. Senate
On March 26, 2015, Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) introduced S. 899, the Fuel Choice and Deregulation Act of 2015, a bill to provide regulatory relief to alternative fuel producers and consumers. The bill would require EPA to provide a volatility waiver to E15, allowing the higher ethanol blend to be sold year round. Fuels have volatility limits in the summer to prevent ...

Evaluating advanced automotive energy technologies: a multivariate mobility contribution metric
Mobility technology is beginning to shift from gasoline-fuelled, internal combustion engines to a variety of alternate fuels and powertrains, including hybrid and fuel cell vehicles. The benefits and/or limitations of many of these technologies are not well characterised by a simple fuel economy metric: mobility is a complex system requiring a multivariate systems measure, especially ...

Methanol blending is alternative fuel of the future
The main objective of “alcohol fuel power” field is increase of fuel resources for transport by using right alternative such as ethanol and methanol blending with gasoline, which unlike pure oil fuel, are characterized renewable and have unlimited sources of raw materials. Margin of oil (valuable hydrocarbonic raw materials for petrochemical productions) and also a power source, in ...
