| Abstract |
This study identifies feasible and practical alternatives to automotive fuels derived from petroleum for the 1975-2000 time period. The alternative fuels are liquids derived from domestic coal and oil shale -- specifically, gasolines, distillates, and methanol. Fuels were screened on the basis of economic, technical, and performance criteria, with consideration given to the way in which each fuel could be brought into general use. Consideration was given to the environmental impact of producing and using the fuels. Feasible and practical alternative automotive fuels were identified and gasoline-type and distillate-type fuels from oil shale together with gasoline-type, distillate-type, and methanol fuels from coal were evaluated in detail. Safety, toxicity, reliability, compatibility with different engines, and convenience of use were considered. |
