The vehicle can still run on diesel, providing flexibility, but most of the time is running on biomethane gas which is a much cleaner and less polluting fuel. The Civitas Initiative exists to promote cleaner and better transport in Europe’s cities. Dual-fuel use is a very attractive option. A hat-tip to John!).

Greater fuel efficiency, along with the use of cleaner fuels, can help mitigate these impacts, although increases in the numbers of cars and the distances driven threaten to overwhelm fuel economy advances. An analysis by Deutsche Bank Climate Advisors, however, suggests that production of 1.1 million EVs and a fleet of 3.5

The RFS aims to reduce oil imports and cut back auto emissions with cleaner-burning fuels such as cellulosic ethanol, biomass-based diesel, and sugar-cane-based ethanol. In addition, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has been operating on B20 since 2000. billion gallons of renewable fuel.
