Alternative Fuels, Fuel Cell Systems and Electric Vehicles for Sustainable Mobility, 2 Volume Set

Co-optimize fuels and engines for low-emission sustainable transport Combustion-generated pollution from petroleum-fueled vehicles remains a severe environmental threat, yet internal combustion engines cannot be rapidly replaced given their established industrial role. Alternative Fuels for Sustainable Transportation: Production, Utilization and EmissionsAlternative Fuels, Fuel Cell Systems and Electrical Vehicles for Sustainable Mobility addresses this challenge by detailing production processes and utilization strategies for green fuel alternatives, examining how to co-optimize fuel properties and engine design for higher efficiency and lower emissions. Coverage spans both land and marine transportation, investigating structure-property relationships between fuels and engine configurations that determine performance and operational affordability. The book also treats electric vehicles, fuel cells, and hydrogen-fueled engines, analyzing relevant fuel properties for each powertrain type. Discussions connect production pathways with prototype vehicle testing and real-world validation across multiple sectors. Readers will also find: Detailed treatment of hydrogen fuel emission controls, including NOx reduction strategies for hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine applicationsAnalysis of combustion-generated emissions across petroleum replacements used in decentralized power generation and industrial engine applicationsCoverage of PHEV and fuel cell vehicle technologies with attention to software integration and validation for deploymentDiscussion of how green fuel adoption supports Sustainable Development Goals through cleaner energy transition in transportationExamination of production technologies for fuel alternatives including process design considerations for scalable commercial implementation Designed for researchers in academia and government laboratories working on IC engine enhancement, pollution alleviation, and EV fuel cell development, this book Alternative Fuels, Fuel Cell Systems and Electrical Vehicles for Sustainable Mobility: Production Technology, Utilization and Performance also serves automotive R&D professionals, policy makers, and innovation engineers seeking technically grounded strategies for sustainable energy transition.
