Abstract:

Petrol, diesel, natural gas, compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and liquefied natural gas with their share around 80% in global energy market have played a great role in thermal, chemical and electrical energy generation process. For last few decades�?? renewable energy fuels have emerged and have succeeded in attaining a share 15-21%. There is a gradual switchover from fossil fuelled thermal power generation and transport to solar, wind and biomass energy fuels in transport and electrical power generation processes because of environmental concerns have found their places in advanced countries. There are also certain reservation regarding solar, wind and biomass fuelled energy generation because of their intermittent nature, high capital costs, technological problems, and socio-cultural barriers. However, there is a possibility of addressing both these concerns in the period of transition, by utilization of combination of traditional and renewable energy fuels (hybrid fuels), using traditional energy generation technology such as petrol and diesel cycles and heat engines. Renewable energy and petroleum industry experts in collaboration can facilitate the development of transitional (hybrid) energy fuels and common processes till synchronization of technological, financial and societal values. A scenario analysis is carried out for both scenarios; purely fossil and renewable fuel consumption, which is not favorable and realizes the need of development of processes and techniques equally applicable to both types of fuels.
