Bio fuels and hybrids Prof Wai Cheng Sloan Automotive Lab MIT 1 The backdrop 2 Transportation and Mobility Transportation mobility is a vital to modern economy Transport of People Transport of goods and produce People get accustomed to the ability to travel 3 Transportation needs special kind of energy source Vehicles need to carry source of energy on board Hydrocarbons are unparalleled in terms of energy density For example look at refueling of gasoline 40 Liters in 2 minutes 0 25 Kg sec Corresponding energy flow 0 25 Kg sec x 44 MJ Kg 11 Mega Watts Liquid hydrocarbons 4 What is in a barrel
