"Liquid fuels" refers to substances that can be transformed into a liquid state and used as a source of energy to power various machines and vehicles, like cars, airplanes, and generators. Some examples of
liquid fuels include gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and jet fuel. These fuels are typically made from crude oil or other natural resources, and they are important for transportation and the functioning of different devices in our daily lives.
Full definition
As petroleum becomes progressively more scarce and expensive the production
of liquid fuels from coal will become steadily more economically attractive.
Production of
liquid fuels from regenerative electric power is a major component of the energy turnaround.
Researchers has developed a new catalyst to convert carbon dioxide
into liquid fuel in just a single step.
There will likely always be a need
for liquid fuels for heavy transport outside of the rail network, and this may be a good source of that.
Still, I had assumed that we'd be using
liquid fuels in many applications for decades, even centuries, to come.
It is now necessary to start reducing the cost of
liquid fuels with their production from coal.
Transportation, which accounts for about 40 percent of the world's energy use, relies overwhelmingly
on liquid fuels produced from oil.
X wanted to reduce carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere by developing a new type of
liquid fuel using only seawater and renewable electricity.
The bill excludes black liquor (
liquid fuel derived from a pulp or paper manufacturing process) from credit eligibility.
In 2006, biofuels comprised just less than 1 % of world's
liquid fuels supply by volume and 0.6 % by transport distance.
The growth in transportation energy demand is likely to account for approximately 60 percent of the growth in
liquid fuels demand worldwide over this period.
Oil companies are coming up with strategies to convert natural gas into
liquid fuels like gasoline and home heating oil — at prices below $ 20 a barrel.
There are some transportation needs that simply must have a low -
carbon liquid fuel alternative.
Local miles are powered partly or fully by electricity from standard plugs, and
liquid fuel provides infinite range.
Our societal infrastructure was built with and expected to continue on
cheap liquid fuels.
That was the point; if you are truly talking
about liquid fuels the number is around 200 billion gallons a year.
I think the key to
future liquid fuels (and a couple of small industries like farming and aviation) will be cheap hydrogen from nuclear.
The energy returns have been calculated in a number of different ways, but most sources show an energy balance more favorable than that of
most liquid fuels.
In the not too distant future, electric vehicles will be able to hold their own
against liquid fuel - driven transport media — also with regard to the accessible distance.
However the goal of making heavy
liquid fuel instead of hydrogen is in line with infrastructure requirements.
But the tar sands are unlikely to make a large impact on overall supply of
liquid fuels because their supply is likely to be rate, rather than total resource limited.
The energy required to convert coal to
liquid fuel doubles the amount of carbon dioxide released compared to fuels refined from oil.
There is little reason to
avoid liquid fuels if they are made from CO2 collected from the air or other standard sources.
The bulky heavy tank and reduced range are not attractive,
so liquid fuels with the same infrastructure range and convenience make more sense.
In the transportation sector, in particular,
liquid fuels continue to provide most of the energy consumed.
But fossil fuels — the
dominant liquid fuel in use for well over a century — have many disadvantages.
It also has high power density, meaning that it produces more energy per gallon than many
other liquid fuels.
