Ecological Fueling System for Vehicles Equipped With Combustion Engines

Abstract

The expected global energy crisis as well as major environmental issues, amid global warming, have led to the imperative need to limit the Carbon Dioxide emissions as well as overall fossil fuel consumption. The production of fossil fuels is itself in crisis, being increasingly unclear the real value of the hydrocarbon reserves available to the planet. All the more so as the growing human society in the coming decades will have almost an exponential growth of the consumption of energy resources of any kind. As the nuclear industry has been in a standstill for a long time and the exploitation of fossil energy resources has an increasingly limited future, it is necessary to discover and develop new fuels obtained on other technological bases than classical ones. As is already known, the optimal fuel (from all points of view, including from an ecological perspective) is the Hydrogen. Unfortunately, although relatively easy to obtain through various industrial methods, the Hydrogen is very difficult to store, requiring tanks under high pressure or cryogenic containers. In this context, an easy Hydrogen production by a provoked and artificially maintained photosynthesis could be a technologically advanced solution in the next few decades.
