Some fuels based on these characteristics:
1. Hydrogen as fuel: it is the best fuel and has highest calorific value. It is only used as a fuel because it is highly inflammable.
2. Methane and LPG as fuels: Both have high calorific values they burn with a smokeless fire and do not cause pollution.
3. Petrol and diesel as fuels: Both are used in auto mobiles their main disadvantage is their limited availability and other is that their combustion releases harmful gases.
