Aim: To produce three fuels that can be easily accessible, promote clean…

- - - - Low population
        
        Meaning not much fuel is needed in total
      - Outside towns and cities
        
        Meaning lots of plants and trees to be used for fuel
      - Very little commercial buildings
        
        Meaning fuel is only needed for small household use
    - - Less developed industrial base
      - Little commercial/industrial buildings
      - Generally medium-low living standards
      - High population growth rate
      - Unstable financial standing
      - These characteristics should mean that fuels must be easy and quick to produce, requiring little transport of materials.
        
        Such fuels include: bioethanol, biodiesel, veg oils, biochar
    - - Weeds/grass
      - Trees
      - Fruits/nuts
      - Produce leftover from agri-production
      - The below can all be fermented into ethanol, undergo pyrolysis to produce biochar or used to make various plant based oils
- - - - Plant based oils
      - Recycled kitchen waste
      - Waste motor oils
      - Cow/animal waste/manure
    - - Ethanol
        
        Can be mixed with diesel to make E-Diesel
      - Methanol
      - Kitchen waste oils
        
        Can be mixed with acetone to make biodiesel
    - - What are raw materials that are easy to transport and available?
        
        Plant based oils
        
        Biomass
    - - E-Diesel
        
        Made from diesel and ethanol
      - Biodiesel
        
        Made from oil and acetone
      - Oil mixtures
- - - - Can it be made quickly?
        
        Mixtures of oils are easy and quick to make
      - Is it available for use all throughout the year?
        
        Some fuels gel up/solidify in winter
        
        Acetone can help fuels stay liquid
        
        Oils start to harden in winter
        
        Alcohols have lower MP so they are mostly liquid despite cold temperatures
      - Is it easy to produce?
        
        Liquid fuels are easy to produce
        
        Bioethanol
        
        Biodiesel
        
        E-Diesel
        
        Mixtures of plant based oils
- - - - What fuels/materials for fuels are clean burning?
        
        Ethanol
        
        Biochar/charcoal
        
        Biodiesel made from WMO, kitchen waste, etc.
        
        Biofuels made from recycled bio mass
        
        Cow manure
      - What are some fuels that are more prone to incomplete combustion? How is this determined?
        
        The more orange the flame, the more incomplete combustion.
        
        Oils generally undergo more incomplete combustion than alcohols
