Concerns about environmental degradation and finite natural resources necessitate cleaner sources of energy for use in the transportation sector. In Canada, natural gas is currently being appraised as a potential alternative fuel for use in vehicles…
Concerns about environmental degradation and finite natural resources necessitate cleaner sources of energy for use in the transportation sector. In Canada, natural gas (NG) is currently being appraised as a potential alternative fuel for use in…
India is expected to grow at a rate of more than 6% over the next two decades [1]. A growing economy requires increasing quantities of fuel to satisfy its energy needs. Natural gas is expected to take up a noteworthy share of the total energy…
The Indonesian transportation sector is currently the nation's largest consumer of petroleum products and a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions overall. Many policies have been implemented by central and local governments, from the…
The global economy is threatened by the depletion of fossil resources and fluctuations in fossil fuel prices, and thus it is necessary to exploit sustainable energy sources. Carbon-neutral fuels including bio-oil obtained from biomass pyrolysis can…
Ethiopia’s transportation sector is currently dominated by internal combustion engine vehicles running using imported petroleum oil. Due to shortages in hard currency, a rising economy and population growth, and rapid industrialization, energy…
This study presents a comprehensive environmental impact and economic assessment of the use of natural gas in potentially cleaner locomotives. An integrated direct methane-solid oxide fuel cell powering system is proposed and analyzed using energy…
Dual-fuel (DF) combustion using natural gas and diesel has received considerable attention in the on- and off-road freight transportation sectors owing to its potential use in achieving better fuel economy and cleaner combustion. To determine the…
Hydrogen is presently evaluated as a clean fuel to mitigate anthropogenic CO2 emissions and reduce the greenhouse gas effect. However, one of the major challenges for implementing a full hydrogen economy is hydrogen storage (as hydrogen is highly…
In much of the world, compressed natural gas (CNG) has been a long recognized alternative transportation fuel due to the fact that it is domestic, one of the cleanest burning and most affordable alternative transportation fuel available – directly…
Hydrogen is currently assessed as a future clean fuel in a hydrogen economy. However, one key problem with implementing a full-scale hydrogen economy is hydrogen storage (as hydrogen is highly compressible and volatile). One solution for this problem…
Dual-fuel premixed charge compression ignition (DF-PCCI) combustion has been proven to be a viable alternative to conventional diesel combustion in heavy-duty compression ignition engines due to its low nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter…
In this study, the effects of n-heptane enrichment on in-cylinder thermochemical fuel reforming (TFR) characteristics and performances of a spark ignition (SI) natural gas (NG) engine were examined. Methanol and NG enrichment cases were also involved…
Practical guides are discussed as to why a how computer control results in tangible economic benefits, what to look for in a candidate, and how to evaluate the benefits. Several examples are presented. The examples are drawn from varied processes…
Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are the primary sources of energy at the moment. However, oil, natural gas, and coal will run out in 53 years, 54 years, and 110 years, respectively, at present production rates. Aside from depleting…

Up to now, the African countries in the southern shore of the Mediterranean Sea exported large quantities of natural gas and crude oil to the European northern shores. Nowadays, issues of security of supply, integration of the electricity markets,…
The fuel economy of natural gas (NG) spark ignition (SI) engine could improve significantly when using high exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) dilution. However, the combustion processes become instability and even occur misfire at higher EGR rate. In…
