  2. Propane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane

    Propane was first synthesized by the French chemist Marcellin Berthelot in 1857 during his researches on hydrogenation. Berthelot made propane by heating propylene dibromide (C 3 H 6 Br 2) with potassium iodide and water. [9] [10]: p. 9, §1.1 [11] Propane was found dissolved in Pennsylvanian light crude oil by Edmund Ronalds in 1864.

  3. Liquid fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_fuel

    Gasoline is the most widely used liquid fuel. Gasoline, as it is known in United States and Canada, or petrol virtually everywhere else, is made of hydrocarbon molecules (compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon only) forming aliphatic compounds, or chains of carbons with hydrogen atoms attached.

  4. History of manufactured fuel gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_manufactured...

    As the wastes produced by former manufactured gas plants were persistent in nature, they often (as of 2009) still contaminate the site of former manufactured gas plants: the waste causing the most concern today is primarily coal tar (mixed long-chain aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, a byproduct of coal carbonization), while "blue billy" (a ...

  5. Alternative fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_fuel

    It is known by many names including propane, LPG (liquified propane gas), LPA (liquid propane autogas), Autogas and others. Propane is a hydrocarbon fuel and is a member of the natural gas family. Propane as an automotive fuel shares many of the physical attributes of gasoline while reducing tailpipe emissions and well to wheel emissions overall.

  6. Biofuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofuel

    A bio-digester is a mechanized toilet that uses decomposition and sedimentation to turn human waste into a renewable fuel called biogas. Biogas can be made from substances like agricultural waste and sewage. [91] [92] The bio-digester uses a process called anaerobic digestion to produce biogas.

  7. Hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon

    Some large-scale non-fuel applications of hydrocarbons begin with ethane and propane, which are obtained from petroleum and natural gas. These two gases are converted either to syngas or to ethylene and propylene respectively. Global consumption of benzene in 2021 is estimated at more than 58 million metric tons, which will increase to 60 ...

  9. Chlorofluorocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorofluorocarbon

    Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are fully or partly halogenated hydrocarbons that contain carbon (C), hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), and fluorine (F), produced as volatile derivatives of methane, ethane, and propane. The most common example is dichlorodifluoromethane (R-12). R-12 is also commonly called Freon and ...
