Energy Consumption
Аннотация
The continuous rise in fossil fuels prices around the world, their depletion, and the growing public interest in environmental issues, stimulated the transport industry to consider better types and sources of alternative fuels. The shortage in electricity supply in Nigeria has directed interest in searching for better types and sources of alternative fuels. Nigeria, other countries and the transport industry will be happy if they can get alternative fuels that are cheaper than fossil fuels. This study is aimed at discussing energy consumption, alternative fuels, and reasons for looking for them. The question concerns how much of these other alternative fuels can be obtained at a cost competitive to fossil fuel; can they be mass produced in a sustainable manner that is safe to meet the high demand. The alternative fuels technology may use renewable energy (wind energy) and offers a solution for sustainable transport fuels. These alternative fuels can be used in cars, aircraft, and generators, etc, and for reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, but this is dependent on the type and the source of the alternative fuel.
