Abstract :
Today, fossil fuels are the main source of energy
which fulfills the demand of energy of the worlds. The
consumption of fossil fuels increasing day by day. This
result in the non-stop rise in the prices and almost every
country are trying to conserve their energy supply. Due to
this, global market scenario changes rapidly which infuses
the fear of gasoline depletion.
On the other hand, the use of fossil fuels has adverse
effect on the environment due to emission of CO, HC, NOx
etc. Fusel oil contain alcohols (methyl, isoamyl, isobutyl, npropyl , ethyl), water (less amount), trace aldehydes, free
acids and their esters. The carbon present in the alcohol
and the fermentation process decides the composition of
fusel oil. The fusel oil has near about same properties as
alcohol fuels like octane number, high oxygen content,
single boiling etc. That indicates that it can be used as
alternative source of energy.
Therefore, This paper reviews utilization of different
alternative fuels like natural gas, biogas, biodiesel,
alcohols, etc.
