摘要: Non-traditional motor fuels are receiving increased attention and use. This paper examines the safety of three alternative gaseous fuels plus gasoline and the advantages and disadvantages of each. The gaseous fuels are hydrogen, methane (natural gas), and propane. Qualitatively, the overall risks of the four fuels should be close. Gasoline is the most toxic. For small leaks, hydrogen has the highest ignition probability and the gaseous fuels have the highest risk of a burning jet or cloud. With the increased use of non-traditional motor vehicle fuels in place of gasoline, the issue of safety with these fuels must be addressed. Each potential replacement for gasoline holds some safety advantages and disadvantages. This paper gives a comparison of several of the leading gaseous fuels, herein called gases, and gasoline. The gaseous fuels of interest are hydrogen, propane (liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)), and methane (natural gas). Hydrogen may be cryogenic liquid (LH2) or compressed (CH2). Natural gas may be compressed (CNG) or liquid (LNG). / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Department of Energy, Washington, DC. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
