Alternatives To Internal-combustion Engines

Over the past decade, people were worried about what would happen when the world's oil supply was exhausted. The main reason for concern is that almost all cars used today require oil-based gasoline to drive internal combustion engines. In the coming decades, all the world oil will be mined and internal combustion engine will not function. For this reason, many companies such as Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler, Toyota, BMW and others are starting to manufacture engines that do not require petroleum-based petrol.

The advent of electric vehicles (EV) as a viable alternative to internal combustion engines (ICE) exposes oil to competition with other energy sources in the transport sector. Countries such as Norway, the Netherlands and China are leading the adoption of passenger car electric vehicles. According to a recent article by Bloomberg, oil demand will be reduced by 20 million barrels by 2040, by electricity efficiency, electric cars and fuel conversion (natural gas and biofuels), the current demand level will be 97 million barrels .

Syngas from biomass pyrolysis can be a renewable alternative fuel for internal combustion (IC) engines and industrial combustion processes. Commercial petrol and diesel engines can easily be converted to use gaseous fuels for power generation, transportation and other applications. However, from 1901 to 1920 many commercial gas fuel IC engines were used. Since then, cheap liquid fuels have become available and this trend is decreasing. With the emergence of demand for renewable fuel engines, the recent interest in the use of syngas in IC engines is emerging again.

An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a heat engine in which the combustion of fuel is carried out in the combustion chamber using an oxidant (usually air), which is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In internal combustion engines, the expansion of high-temperature, high-pressure gases produced by combustion exerts a direct force on certain components of the engine. This force is usually applied to the piston, turbine blade, rotor or nozzle. This force moves the part a certain distance and converts chemical energy into useful mechanical energy.

Internal combustion engines are engines in which the combustion of fuel (usually fossil fuel) is carried out in the combustion chamber using an oxidant (usually air). In internal combustion engines, the expansion of high-temperature, high-pressure gases generated by combustion creates mechanical work by applying force directly to the components of the engine, such as pistons or turbine blades or nozzles, and moving it a distance. An external combustion engine (EC engine) is a heat engine in which an internal working fluid is heated by an engine wall or a heat exchanger by combustion from an external source. Movement and available work are then generated by the fluid which expands and acts on the engine mechanism. The fluid is then cooled, compressed and reused (closed cycle), or (less commonly) discarded and the coolant is sucked in (open cycle air engine).
