Introduction to Clean Fuels for Mobility -- Sustainable Fuels in Private Transportation–Present and Future Potential -- Fuels for Sustainable Transport in India -- Alternative Refinery Process of Fuel Catalytic Upgrade in Aqueous Media -- Ethanol Derived from Municipal Solid Waste for Sustainable Mobility -- Bioethanol from Wastes for Mobility: Europe on the Road to Sustainability -- Bio-derived and Waste Fats Use for the Production of Drop-In Fuels -- Biodiesel as a Clean Fuel for Mobility -- Ammonia for Decarbonized Maritime Transportation -- Biogas as a Sustainable and Renewable Energy Source -- Natural Gas as a Clean Fuel for Mobility.

This book provides an overview of clean fuels for sustainable mobility by highlighting on world energy outlook, technic-economic assessment, and the key aspects of the fuel production processes and their possible large impact on various transportation sector segments. The content initially deals with different types of alternative fuels, for example, ethanol, methanol, butanol, hydrogen, biogas, biodiesel, etc. It also focuses on current trends in the automotive sector. Various aspects of the clean fuels production process and formulation to improve the combustion characteristics and efficiency toward sustainability are considered. Some of the important fuels like hydrogen, ammonia, natural gas etc. are discussed in detail. This volume will be useful for the industrial and research community involved in fuels, combustion engines, and environmental research.
