Carbon dioxide versus energy balances for transportation fuels

H. O. Pritchard

Year: 2009 Journal:   Energy & Environmental Science Vol: 2 (8)Pages: 815-815   Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry

Abstract

Tables of energy content per litre and of CO2 production per unit energy are given for a representative selection of molecules, as an aid to quantifying the advantages, or otherwise, of using ethanol and/or butanol as transportation fuels.

Keywords:
Carbon dioxide Environmental science Waste management Butanol Carbon fibers Energy (signal processing) Unit (ring theory) Chemistry Process engineering Ethanol Engineering Materials science Mathematics Organic chemistry
