List of The Best 10 Alternative Fuels for Cars that Could Replace Gasoline

Get Electric Vehicle

It takes really long to form fossil fuels They are air pollutants – Combustion of fossil fuels emits greenhouse gases causes air pollution Global warming – as a result of greenhouse gas emission, atmospheric temperature increases ( how? ). Many counties use methanol as a fuel alternative in race cars. #3

Jülich evaluation of power-to-fuels recommends DME, OME3-5 and n-alkanes as diesel substitutes

Green Car Congress

An evaluation of the implementation possibilities of power-to-fuel (PTF) technologies by a team from Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH in Germany recommends the PTF products DME, OME 3-5 and n-alkanes as suitable diesel alternatives for the transportation sector. A paper on the Jülich study is published in the journal Fuel.
