Alternatives to oil

I'm afraid in merging with "Fuel" we have orphaned those uses of oil which do not include "fuel" Oil is a base for petrochemicals as well as plastics and pesticides (a non-fuel petrochemical). These are quite important uses of oil, and I suggest we find a way to embrace them. Perhaps we merge the other way - and make Energy one of several uses for oil which require alternatives?

Bi liquid fuels

Oil and water can mixed in a stable form, without a suffactant type of ticco pitties

There is the possibility to water down all oil based fuels by up to 20%

Providing the mix contains some ethanol the fuel retains its power

This can be possible and the mixture will remain a stable dispersion providing the fluids are put through the correct process

Fossil fuel

Fossil fuel are not really alternative fuels, because they go the same problem than petroleum: they are not renewable and produce fossil fuels. --Mac (talk) 06:16, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I removed the section on non-conventional oil, beefed up the CNG info, and renamed what's left as "Alternative fossil fuels". NJGW (talk) 12:41, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Comparisation of alternative fuels

Can a table be made comparing the alternative fuels based on co2 emissions, cost, ... Also include hydrogen peroxide —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.245.188.240 (talk) 16:14, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Hydrogen

I think, undergo a chemical change should be a temperature change, Mion (talk) 00:27, 7 September 2008 (UTC) see : Thermal hydrogen compressor . Mion (talk) 00:36, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Renaming of article

The article can perhaps be renamed to "Combustible energetic fluid"/Combustible energy substances. This as the main focus is on ("alternative") combustible energy carriers, eg those that can be burned in a conventional internal combustion engine (so that engines may be modified rather than swapped).Also, the substances must be storable (holding its energy over some degree of time)

Renewable power (electricity) is not storable (unless in a battery, but then the energy source is the battery; not the power) and should be removed.

Biomass (pure wood) can also be used as a "fuel" (see http://www.biomassauthority.com/a/precer-bioracer-biomass-car/) Not sure where to mention it however, perhaps on other article as it probably cant be burned in a ICE engine. Biochar too can probably be mentioned.
