This book focuses on natural gas, renewable Methan and E-Fuels as contemporary and future energy sources.Following a historical overview, physical and chemical properties,occurance, extraction, transportation and storage of natural gas and renewable methan are discussed.The actual situation of eletrical produced fuels (E-Fuels) is presented by a FVV-Report (German Research Association for Combustion Engines).A substantial part of the book addresses the design of engine and vehicals for natural and synthetic methan as well as large combustion engines for industrial and maritime use.The improvements of a Dual Fuel Combustion are shown in an own chapter. The mixture of natural gas and hydrogen are discussed too.
The book provides a detailed overview of the various aspects of the properties, extraction, storage, and application of natural gas, renewable methane, and synthetic e-fuels. The current state of research on electrically generated fuels (e-fuels) is presented in an FVV report. This second edition not only looks at the monovalent combustion of these fuels in vehicles, but also highlights the advantages of simultaneous combustion of gaseous and liquid fuels. In addition to in-depth descriptions of technology and operation, the current CO2 debate and future developments towards climate-neutral mobility are discussed.
