Terentyev — Motor Fuels from Alternative Feedstocks
The book *Motor Fuels from Alternative Feedstocks* by Terentyev offers the first comprehensive analysis—integrated with broader energy issues—of the feedstock base, processing technologies, application characteristics, and economic indicators associated with motor fuels derived from alternative sources (coal, oil shale, bituminous oils, natural gas, and biomass). It outlines the current state and future outlook for motor fuel consumption. The book characterizes and classifies alternative fuels and establishes a system of priorities for their use in road transport, taking into account economic, energy-related, and environmental factors.
*Motor Fuels from Alternative Feedstocks* is intended for specialists in the technology and economics of motor fuel production and application, as well as those concerned with general energy issues.
This book addresses a topic that has recently attracted significant interest among specialists in general energy, chemical fuel processing technology, and energy supply for mobile machinery powered by internal combustion engines. This interest is evidenced by the large number of domestic and international publications covering various aspects of producing and using alternative motor fuels from diverse feedstocks. However, domestic scientific and technical literature lacks a work that examines this issue from a broad, systemic perspective—ranging from the assessment of reserves and the classification of primary energy sources and feedstocks for motor fuel production to the economic and environmental efficiency of using various alternative motor fuels in road transport.
The present book represents a first attempt to fill this gap, although the authors acknowledge that it does not cover every facet of the issue—given its multifaceted nature and the fact that certain questions remain insufficiently studied. Forecasting scientific and technological progress and future economic indicators always involves an element of uncertainty; consequently, the authors do not claim that their calculations and conclusions are indisputable, as they are based on current knowledge and projected development trends. Therefore, the book *Motor Fuels from Alternative Feedstocks* by Terentyev should be viewed as an introduction to the technological and economic aspects of producing and using alternative motor fuels; the authors will consider their objective achieved if the work encourages practitioners and researchers to pursue further in-depth study in this field.
