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

Get Electric Vehicle

Which are the alternative fuels for cars that could replace gasoline in vehicle? Are you aware of the most commonly used fuel in automobiles? The answer is petroleum fuels. The fossil fuels are highly significant in the global economy. The worlds’ energy requirements are mostly meet by these petroleum fuels.

SRI developing process for co-gasification of methane and coal to produce liquid transportation fuels; negligible water consumption, no CO2

Green Car Congress

Researchers from SRI International (SRI) are developing a methane-and-coal-to-liquids process that consumes negligible amounts of water and does not generate carbon dioxide. If biogas is substituted for conventional natural gas, total GHG emissions can further significantly reduced (190 gCO 2 /mile). Lifecycle GHG comparison.

Left, global light-duty fleet in the electric-favoring case; right, the hydrogen-favoring case. In both electric- and hydrogen-favoring cases, availability of low-carbon electricity and hydrogen prolonged the use of petroleum-fueled ICE vehicles.

Study suggests China urban passenger transport emissions could peak in 2030

Green Car Congress

It is further found that measures for promoting public transport would have the greatest potential for energy conservation and emission reduction, followed by improving vehicle fuel efficiency. Shifting to the alternative fuels also plays an important role. Natural gas taxis are expected to account for 54% in 2050.

Researchers Propose New F-T Process for Synfuels; Less Work Required Could Result in 15% Reduction in CO2 Emissions Compared to Conventional Route

Green Car Congress

The Fischer-Tropsch process, which catalytically converts synthesis gas to synthetic fuels and chemicals, is “ very inefficient in that a large part of the carbon fed into the process ends up as CO 2 , either directly or indirectly from fuel consumption for heating the reaction. ”.

EIA Energy Outlook 2010 Reference Case Projects Moderate Growth in US Energy Consumption, Greater Use of Renewables, and Reduced Oil and Natural Gas Imports

Green Car Congress

Assuming no new policies, growth in energy-related CO 2 is driven by electricity and transportation fuel use. Mild and full hybrid systems combined will have the largest share of annual new light-duty vehicle sales by 2035, followed by flex-fuel systems. Total domestic natural gas production grows from 20.6
