Alternative fuels in road transport

U radu su navedena svojstva konvencionalnih i alternativnih goriva, paralelno s usporedbom njihovih osobina u vozilima. Posebno su opisana sva alternativna goriva s težištem na razradbu metoda njihove proizvodnje, mogućnosti opskrbe, utjecaja na okoliš, ekonomsku isplativost te dostupnost infrastrukture. Kako bi se dobio širi uvid o njihovim stvarnim performansama u automobilima, ispisan je proračun, u kojemu su uspoređene karakteristike emisije ugljikovog dioksida te dinamika potrošnje goriva kod stvarnih primjera vozila - s pogonom na alternativna goriva te vozilom s pogonom na dizel. Na kraju rada, grafički su prikazani dobiveni rezultati.This work describes the properties of conventional and alternative fuels, while also comparing their performances in vehicles. Each alternative fuel is described separately with the aim of elaborating ways of their production, supply possibilities, environmental impact, economic feasibility and accessibility of infrastructure. The calculation of comparison, carbon dioxide emission characteristics and fuel consumption in cars powered by conventional and alternative fuel, is shown in order to gain a wider sight into their real performances in vehicles. At the end of the work, the results are shown graphically
