Crude Oil reserves - several decades left.
Petrol, diesel - medium
fuel value 48 kJ/g
Ψ Petrol = octane fraction C7-C8
Removing knocking
(pre-ignition)
requires additives such
as MTBE.
Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether
BTX in use (40%)
in unleaded.
Poll: VOC, NOX, CO, CO2
Ψ Diesel = fraction C9-C11
Poll: Particles, VOC, NOX, CO, CO2 , SO2
Ψ Natural gas (CNG) = methane
medium fuel value
56 kJ/g
low energy density it is a gas not a
liquid
Poll: NOX, CO, CO2; better ratio E:CO2
