    Solar panel

    Asias largest solar power field, 600 megawatt solar energy.

    The Gujarat Solar Park, Charanka, in North Gujarat

    commissioning of its 10 mw solar powerproject

    The worlds first canal-top project on Sanand branch canal of the Sardar Sarovar

    Nigam Ltd generating one-MW electricity from solar panels atop the Narmada

    branch canal was inaugurated by Gujarat Chief MinisterNarendra Modi.

    A project that has the potential of generating 2,200 MW electricity from solar panels,

    give clean, pollution-free energy, save 11,000 acres of land and also prevent water

    in irrigational canals from evaporating, does indeed sound like a DREAM project. But

    if the new canal-top project in Narmada is to be followed, that dream might become

    Gujarats reality.

    To produce solar power and avoid water evaporation, solar panels have been set up

    atop the Narmada branch canal.

    The 19,000-km-long Narmada canal network in Gujarat is a potential powerhouse

    and it is estimated that even if 10 percent of the canal top is used for setting up solar

    panels, it could help generate 2,200 MW of power, save large acres of land and

    prevent Rs 2,000 crore of precious water from evaporation annually.

    Gujarats solar power initiative could help the nation save Rs 500 crore over the next25 years, besides reducing carbon emissions to the tune of 8 lakh tones.

    global warming is related to anthropogenic Green House Gases (GHGs). GHGs

    include, the common gases namely , carbon dioxide and water vapor, and rarer

    gases such as nitrous oxide, methane and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) whose

    properties relate to the transmission or reflection of different types of solar radiations.

    The increase in such gases in the atmosphere is a result of the burning of fossil

    fuels, emission of pollutants into the atmosphere by power plants and vehicle

    engines, etc. Of all human activities, driving motor vehicles produces the most

    intensive CO2 emissions and other toxic gases per capita.

    CNG

  • 7/29/2019 Latest Issues

    3/7

    Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons mainly methane (CH4) and is produced

    either from gas wells or in conjunction with crude oil production. Natural Gas offers a

    significant potential for reducing harmful emissions from vehicles, especially those of

    fine particulates, compared to conventional fuel. It stands substantially better than

    conventional fuels both in life cycle emissions and vehicle exhaust emissions.

    Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)

    LPG is a by-product of natural gas processing or a product that comes from crude oil

    refining and is composed primarily of propane and butane with smaller amounts of

    propylene and butylenes. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consists mainly of propane,

    propylene, butane, and butylene in various mixtures. Lower carbon-to-hydrogen

    ratio, higher octane rating and its ability to form a homogeneous mixture inside the

    combustion chamber enable it to produce lesser emissions.

    CNG

    direction by the Honble Supreme Court to Delhi transport Cooperation to convert at

    least 1/5th of its bus fleet every year to CNG and to purchase henceforth only new

    buses that use CNG as fuel and if licenses are issued to private buses those should

    be issued only for buses running on CNG or on batteries in Delhi;

    Due to its low energy density for use as a vehicular fuel, it is compressed to a

    pressure of 200 - 250 bars to facilitate storage in cylinders mounted in vehicle and so

    it is called compressed natural gas (CNG).

    By November of 2002, all diesel busses and non-CNG two-stroke three-wheelers of

    the city were removed from the streets of Delhi. The city today has the worlds

    largest CNG vehicle fleet.

    Diesel Alcohol Blends

    The alcohol may be blended with diesel fuel to produce dies-ohol, (or) the alcohol

    may be added to the air intake of the diesel engine. But, control of the quantity of

    alcohol added to the air intake may be difficult and could cause erratic engineoperation and/or failure if a large quantity of alcohol was added to the air intake.

    Methyl alcohol, because of its highly polar nature, does not mix with diesel fuel.

    Ethanol can be mixed with diesel fuel provided there is little water in the ethanol.

    Another problem with adding ethanol to diesel fuel is that the cetane number (ignition

    characteristic) may decrease below the level recommended by the engine

    manufacturer. Butyl alcohol can be mixed with diesel fuel in virtually any

    concentration.

    A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction

    with oxygen or another oxidizing agent.[1]

    constant source of fuel and oxygen to run, but they can produce electricity continually for as long as these inputs

    are supplied

    Hybrid electric vehicles can be classified according to the way in which power is supplied to the drivetrain:

    Inparallel hybrids, the ICE and theelectric motorare both connected to the mechanicaltransmissionand

    can simultaneously transmit power to drive the wheels, usually through a conventional transmission.

    Honda's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system as found in theInsight,Civic,Accord, as well as the GM

    Belted Alternator/Starter(BAS Hybrid) system found in theChevrolet Malibuhybrids are examples of

    production parallel hybrids.[17]

    Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs)

    TheChevrolet Voltis aplug-in hybridable to run inall-electric modeup to 35 miles.

    Aplug-in hybrid electric vehicle(PHEV), also known as a plug-in hybrid, is a hybrid electric vehicle

    withrechargeable batteriesthat can be restored to full charge by connecting a plug to an externalelectric

    powersource. A PHEV shares the characteristics of both a conventional hybrid electric vehicle, having

    anelectric motorand aninternal combustion engine; and of anall-electric vehicle, also having aplugto

    connect to theelectrical grid. PHEVs have a much largerall-electric rangeas compared to conventional

    gasoline-electric hybrids, and also eliminate the "range anxiety" associated with all-electric vehicles,

    because the combustion engine works as a backup when the batteries are depleted .[22][24][25]

    Chinese battery manufacturer and automakerBYD Autoreleased theF3DMPHEV-62 (PHEV-

    100 km)hatchbackto the Chinese fleet market on December 15, 2008, for 149,800yuan(US

    $22,000).[26][27]

    General Motorslaunched the 2011Chevrolet Voltseries plug-in in December 2010.[28][29]

    TheVolt displaced theToyota Priusas the mostfuel-efficient carsold in the United States.

    In 1900, while employed at Lohner Coach Factory,Ferdinand Porschedeveloped theMixte,[2][32]

    a 4WD series-

    hybrid version of "System Lohner-Porsche" electric carriage previously appeared in1900 Paris World Fair. The

    Mixte included a pair of generators driven by 2.5-hp Daimler IC engines to extend operating range and it could

    travel nearly 65 km on battery alone. It was presented in the Paris Auto Showin 1901.[2][33][34]

    The Mixte broke

    several Austrian speed records, and also won theExelberg Rallyin 1901 with Porsche himself driving. The Mixte

    used agasoline enginepowering agenerator, which in turn powered electrichub motors, with a small battery

    pack for reliability. It had a top speed of 50 km/h and a power of 5.22 kW during 20 minutes.

    Bioethanol is an alcohol made by fermentation, mostly from carbohydrates produced

    in sugarorstarch crops such as corn orsugarcane. Cellulosic biomass, derived from

    non-food sources such as trees and grasses, is also being developed as a feedstock

    for ethanol production. Ethanol can be used as a fuel for vehicles in its pure form, butit is usually used as a gasoline additive to increase octane and improve vehicle

    emissions. Bioethanol is widely used in the USA and in Brazil. Current plant design

    does not provide for converting the lignine portion of plant raw materials to fuel

    components by fermentation.

    Ethanol fuel is the most common biofuel worldwide, particularly in Brazil. Alcohol

    fuels are produced by fermentation of sugars derived from wheat, corn, sugar beets,

    sugar cane, molasses and any sugar or starch that alcoholic beverages can be

    made from (like potato and fruit waste, etc.).

    Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils and animal fats. Biodiesel can be used as a

    fuel for vehicles in its pure form, but it is usually used as a diesel additive to reduce

    levels of particulates, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons from diesel-powered

    vehicles. Biodiesel is produced from oils or fats using transesterification and is the

    most common biofuel in Europe

    Second generation biofuels are biofuels produced from sustainable feedstock.

    Sustainability of a feedstock is defined among others by availability of the feedstock,

    impact on GHG emissions and impact on biodiversity and land use.[28]Many second

    generation biofuels are under development such as Cellulosic ethanol, Algae fuel[29].,

    biohydrogen, biomethanol, DMF, BioDME, Fischer-Tropsch diesel, biohydrogen

    diesel, mixed alcohols and wood diesel.

    Cellulosic ethanol production uses non-food crops or inedible waste products and

    does not divert food away from the animal or human food chain. Lignocellulose is the

    "woody" structural material of plants. This feedstock is abundant and diverse, and insome cases (like citrus peels or sawdust) it is in itself a significant disposal problem.
