For the first, the fact of resorting to alternative energies comes from a preoccupation with an economy, of a concern of respecting the environment, sometimes of escaping from a rage taxatoire considered to be prohibitory on behalf of its government.
For the seconds, it acts of a question of survival. In central Africa, fuel barrels (gasoline or diesel) must be monitored day and night by armed guards: they are conveyed by boat or plane, and their uses - considered to be wrongly essential (vehicles or power generating units) appear extremely expensive for the local economy... The economic emergence of China, under development full (10% per annum!) hustle the oil markets, the capacities of refining do not manage more to follow the increasing request, showing an acceleration of the process fully. North America has enormous coal reserves and is directed, gradually but surely, towards its exploitation.
The rarefaction of oil has an impact envisaged of long date on the European economy: vertiginous increase in the cost of living, inflation, lowers exports and unemployment. The countries of Africa, incompetents to be equipped in the short run with a saving in substitution to that based on the use of oil, are breaking down economically and socially. Everywhere, poverty and the hunger cause there disorders, civil wars, and growing criminality.
This work aims to draw up an assessment of the situation, to draw up an inventory of energies and fuels of substitution immediately available to those which really wish to be reconverted. It dismounts dies of production, storage and exploitation of these alternative sources of energy and these fuels, by calling upon cases simple and already put into practice by others. It also has the merit, we dare to hope for it and we will make an effort there, to show that a completely autonomous economy of the use of the petroleum products is possible in the countries of the South of planet, with the proviso of becoming aware of the importance of the stake, and that the will to arrive at this autonomy appears clearly among the interested parties, the chiefs of governments and industrialists local. With us European, only one way is binding to preserve our current standard of living : to sell with the countries of Africa, of South America, in India and China, which will enable them to reconvert their economies in order to occur from oil. Out of that, not of hello, neither for the ones, nor for the others. Out of that, the future will be dark. And this future is very near. It is with our doors.

The hydrogen peroxide is not containing hydrocarbon, but combustive very powerful, ready to replace the air, and which has the advantage of providing to be injected in liquid form.
Manufacturing process: One makes pass from pure oxygen between electrodes out of turntable traversed by an electrical current to very high voltage, which causes the ozone formation, which must then splash in water, which brings to the direct production of hydrogen peroxide. A second process consists in making react barium oxide with sulphuric acid concentrated, which leads to very concentrated hydrogen peroxide, in which barium sulphate precipitates. The barium sulphate once dried can be calcined, in order to ends in barium oxide and gas SO3, both which can be recycled. Gas SO3 redissolved in water gives again sulphuric acid indeed. It is the process more employed in industry. It requires an intense heat source (why not produced by the combustion of hydrogen?)
Advantages: It can be much more advantageous to consider a die of production of hydrogen peroxide rather than of hydrogen, gas produces both starting from the electrolysis of water. Why? It is very simple. Hydrogen is difficult to store. However it can be used immediately as intense source of heat to calcine barium sulphate previously mentioned. The hydrogen peroxide, on the other hand, is stored without great difficulties, and can practically burn any fuel, even of the oil of draining, and that without nitrogen protoxide emissions, nor of unburnt components as in the traditional spark-ignition engines!
Disadvantages: Beyond a certain concentration, the hydrogen peroxide can break up in an explosive way, particularly if it contains organic impurities. It burns the skin then as easily as acid. Its storage and its employment are thus dangerous, according to its concentration.
