Alternative Vehicle Fuel Management: Impact on Energy Security Indicators

subject

description

Land transport consumes primarily oil products. Their use effects on climate change. A tendency of crude oil price increasing, uneven allocation, and exhaustibility forces to look for alternatives. Alternative vehicle fuel can to reduce energy dependence and meet ecological requirement. The aim of the study was to reveal the basic principles of the alternative vehicle fuel management and its influence on energy security indicators. The fundamental objectives and principles of alternative fuel management were reviewed. The energy security indicators which are affected by the use of alternative fuels were considered. The primary goal of the alternative vehicle fuel management is profit optimization and strengthens the energy security indicators. The energy security indicators can be improved by the use of indigenous fuels (both renewable and non-renewable) and by increasing the diversification of energy resource supplies.
