Biofuels


 Automotive engines aren’t just undergoing a radical shift from electric vehicles, biofuels represent another challenge entirely and require different types of fuel monitoring. 

Biofuels and e-fuels are becoming viable options in the pursuit of decarbonisation. Alternative fuels emit less carbon throughout their lifecycle than fossil fuels. Crucially, it is possible to integrate biofuels into existing combustion engines in road, aviation, and maritime transport, provide immediate decarbonisation, and blend them with conventional fuels.

Therefore, cleaner fuel types offer a vital means to decarbonise transportation in the short term while longer-term solutions are developed. 

However, alternative fuels have rigorous testing requirements that must be carefully followed to identify the presence of any contaminants and ensure operational efficiency for engines. 

How hydrocarbon compatibility can create cleaner fuels

Biofuels that are most prevalent within the current market include bioethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel, biomethanol, and sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). These fuels are largely generated through the processing of biomass such as starch of grains, vegetable oils, animal fats, waste oils, and greases.

Despite the many advantages, most alternative fuels are not cost-competitive with conventional fuels. Biofuels have a lower energy density than fossil fuels. Therefore, engine adjustments are required when blending large volumes of biofuels.

It is also critical to ensure that resources are free of contaminants. An unclean fuel stock can damage the internal components of engines, supply systems, and other equipment. Additionally, sulphur regulatory limits must be met by all biofuels, whether blended or not. The presence of chlorine in some biofuels may also cause corrosion damage during and after the production stages. And when blending fuels, the different molecules can behave differently, which requires precise management to ensure that the fuel functions as intended.

Artificial Intelligence for Road Safety

Image
  Telematics for fleets and insurance started with essential questions concerning: geolocation of vehicles fuel level monitoring the number of kilometers on the dashboard These solutions are now fully operational. We then saw applications while driving: eco-driving tips to save fuel navigation, to save travel time or km Again, these elements are currently being deployed. Similarly, eco-driving assistance applications are being deployed to try to reduce the cost of energy-related operations. But the artificial intelligence that can be embedded in telematics systems (device, smartphone) can provide many other services. In particular, it is possible to significantly reduce the number of road accidents, thereby reducing operating costs. COST OF ROAD ACCIDENTS Road accidents cost fleets dearly: repair costs, if the fleet is self-insured, insurance costs otherwise cost of the immobilization period of the damaged vehicle cost of non-working time of injured personnel cost of late delivery ...

Importance of traffic signal rules

Image
    Adhering to traffic rules and traffic signals is crucial for maintaining road safety and preventing accidents. These road rules and signs are the foundations for smooth movement of vehicles and an efficient network of roads.    Accident prevention:  By following the road safety rules, road users can avoid collisions and injuries. Traffic signals play a crucial role in preventing accidents by regulating the flow of vehicles and ensuring that drivers and pedestrians regulate their movement on the road.  Traffic congestion mitigation:  Well-timed and efficient traffic signals help to reduce traffic congestion by coordinating the movement of vehicles and preventing bottlenecks. This improves traffic flow, reduces travel times, and saves fuel. Pedestrian safety:  Traffic signs and signals provide clear instructions and warnings to pedestrians, allowing them to safely cross the road at designated times. This reduces the risk of pedestrian accidents....

Biodiesel vs. Diesel Fuel

Image
  There are significant differences in environmental impact when comparing biodiesel and diesel’s life cycle emissions. While both fuels produce similar amounts of carbon dioxide during combustion, biodiesel’s carbon dioxide emission is partially offset by the growth of plants like soybeans and other feedstock used to make biodiesel fuel. This leads to a notable decrease in net carbon dioxide emissions over its life cycle. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that pure biodiesel emissions are  reduced by 74% compared to diesel . Meanwhile, a B20 blend  reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 15% . The difference between diesel and biodiesel is also apparent when observing other emission pollutants. Research  published by the Institute of Physics  (IOP) revealed the following results: Carbon monoxide:  Pure biodiesel produces significantly lower carbon monoxide emissions than regular diesel. Hydrocarbon:  Diesel generates higher hydrocarbon emissions ...
