Abstract:
Energy is a necessity for economic development. Energy is used extensively in transportation and power generation. Human civilization would not have advanced to modern living standards without the transportation of millions of personalized and mass transport vehicles and the availability of 24x7 power. The global economy and society are heavily reliant on energy availability because it touches every aspect of human life and activity. Because of the rising population and urbanization, energy demand has skyrocketed. Thus, growing energy consumption has resulted in the world becoming increasingly reliant on fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. Therefore, a sustainable energy path must be developed. Fossil fuels provide more than 80% of global consumption and more than 95% of global transportation energy. While global fossil fuel reserves are depleting, global energy demand is rising due to the evolution of energy-intensive lifestyles. To improve energy security and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is critical to investigate alternative fuels for the transportation sector. This paper summarizes the information on current transportation fuels and the potential use case of alternative transportation fuels.
