DOE TEF project finds US can eliminate petroleum and reduce GHG by more than 80% in transportation by 2050; less use, more biofuels, expansion of electricity and hydrogen

Green Car Congress

TEF does not project that all liquid fuels will be eliminated from the future transportation sector, but rather that demand can be sufficiently reduced so that biomass can meet all liquid fuel needs. While new fuel types require new infrastructure, the share of infrastructure cost within total fuel costs is very small (1.5-3%),

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

Get Electric Vehicle

Since fuel weighs less than a kilogram per litre, it is interesting to see how the weight of emissions is multiplied by the addition of oxygen. How does it affect the sustainability of the clean environment? Greenhouse gases increase the temperature, and the increased temperature disturbs the balance of the environment.

UK study finds Bio-SNG could offer 90% reduction in lifecycle CO2; lower cost of carbon abatement than electrical solutions for transport applications

Green Car Congress

Implementation of Bio-SNG will only take place with the appropriate tax, incentive and legislative environment. A full lifecycle analysis of Bio-SNG production undertaken by North Energy Associates found that for many types of feedstock, the lifecycle CO 2 e savings of Bio-SNG compared with fossil fuel alternatives are typically ~90%.

Fossil Fuels Renewable Energy and EV Modern Life

Setec Powerr

In any case, when we switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy, we reduce but do not eliminate environmental damage. Current versions of renewable energy such as solar cells and windmills do far less damage to the environment than oil rigs, fracking, and strip mining, but they do damage the environment.

Study Concludes That Large-Scale Transport of Ethanol Could Negate Its Economic and Environmental Benefits Compared to Gasoline

Green Car Congress

For this analysis, it was assumed that the remainder would be supplied by cellulosic ethanol produced from switchgrass, though the mandate requires only 60 billion liters of cellulosics while the remainder could come from other advanced biofuels. The analysis emphasizes the importance of regional alternative fuel strategies.
