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.

ArcelorMittal investigates hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron ore for steel production; CDA

Green Car Congress

To permanently reduce CO 2 emissions, steelmaker ArcelorMittal has developed a low-emissions technology strategy, which targets not only the use of alternative feedstocks and the conversion of CO 2 emissions, but also the direct avoidance of carbon (Carbon Direct Avoidance, CDA). The project costs amount to around €65 million (US$73 million).

Neste to receive €88M from EU toward green hydrogen and carbon capture & storage at Porvoo; SHARC

Green Car Congress

The EU Innovation Fund will award a grant of €88 million to Neste’s green hydrogen and CO 2 capture & storage project, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the Porvoo refinery in Finland. SHARC will also scale the production of green hydrogen to help make it a viable transportation fuel itself.

Swiss WTW study finds important role for alternative fuels as well as alt drivetrains in move to low-emissions vehicles

Green Car Congress

First, it considers the performance of both mature and novel hydrogen production processes, multiple electricity generation pathways and several alternative drivetrains. Battery-electric range for plug-in hybrids is 60 km, while electric range for full battery-electric and fuel cell vehicles is 180 km. Click to enlarge.

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. In conventional CTL approaches, energy is supplied by burning a portion of the coal feed, which then produces carbon dioxide.

Argonne LCA study finds many alternative fuels consume more water than petroleum and natural gas fuels

Green Car Congress

They found that many alternative fuels consume larger quantities of water on a per km basis than traditional petroleum and natural gas pathways. Pathways for centralized production of hydrogen fuel showed similar water consumption footprints to the thermoelectric pathways on an energy basis. Lampert et al.
