Using Metals as Carbon Free Fuel Alternatives

A fuel is any material capable of releasing energy when it oxidizes in a violent manner with heat. There are several
types of fuels such as:
Solid fuels: How are wood and charcoal
Combustible fluids: found in liquids such as kerosene and gasoline
We finally have the fossil fuels are a mixture of mineralized organic compounds that are extracted from the
subsoil, with the aim of producing energy by combustion
At present, the extraction of fossil fuels cause great environmental impact and to our health, because when you
combust, release harmful compounds such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, which apart from affecting our
health also affects the air, in recent decades the extraction technique by fracking has become quite controversial
for the countless damages that because of this, the removal by fracking involves injecting chemicals for drilling
up to 2500 meters in depth with the use of explosives which causes pollution in the waters, lakes, rivers, etc.
During this essay will discuss the environmental impact of the extraction of fossil fuels but in search of
improvement will be an alternative fuel from the use of metals, establish that so favorable is this technique and
evaluate the positive aspects and
The problem with fossil fuels is that while they´re bad for environment they´re really are so useful in every day
life.
The metals could be the answer to the difficult problem of energy storage and transportation in a fossil-fuel-free
future.
In search of the improvement of the production of fossil fuels researchers are exploring the idea of using metals
such as fuels in order to take advantage of the fact that they are very common and abundant, at present the basis
of most of these fuels is carbon, the idea is to use the metals such as iron, steel in a similar way as these metals
are good conductors of heat because the electric power could be used to smelled iron ore into pure metal,
effectively storing this energy chemically in the metal, the way in which energy is stored in a battery in this
way make use of energy reactions To release energy when and where it is needed, the idea that arises in the
project is to produce this fuel that is spent and be reused in a new processing, then the fuel from metals is entered
in the vehicle, this spends it and ejected as dust and they react rapidly with oxygen to produce metallic oxides ,
the idea is that this material is oxidized back to its pure state by casting for reuse many times .

This technique is quite sustainable because metals are an ideal fuel since they have high energy densities,
recyclable solid emissions, great abundance and non-toxic in case of accidents, this is a technique that can last for
a long time without sacrificing the environment.

Understand the richness of our biodiversity and take advantage of this generation with knowledge through
research, looking for all the processes that are developed are sustainable and have the least possible social impact,
in this way ensuring a better future and with less pollution.
