FUEL: A Comparative Analysis of Organic and Biofuel Energy Sources

This report delves into the realm of fuels, differentiating between organic and biofuels while examining their energy potential and environmental impacts. The report begins by highlighting the significance of fuel in industrial processes and its detrimental effects on the environment, particularly the ozone layer, prompting the search for alternative energy sources. It then explores the challenges of completely replacing petroleum products, focusing on organic fuels like diesel, petrol, and biofuels such as ethanol and methane. The report investigates substitution and fermentation reactions, crucial in alcohol production, and details various chemical reactions including dehydration, oxidation, and combustion. It also covers the advantages and disadvantages of both organic and biofuels, concluding with a comparative analysis and emphasizing the potential of biofuels. Part B of the report contrasts organic compounds with inorganic sources, such as hydroelectric, wind, and solar energy, emphasizing the need for energy conversion. The report provides references to support its findings.
