There has been much discussion for over thirty years or more around the use of hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Fuel cells had been promoted in some sectors as the best alternative to the internal combustion engine.

It is estimated that DME from renewable energy sources could offer well-to-wheel emissions of about 3 g/km CO 2.

Conventional cars work by exploding fuel and air in a chamber to exert force on the pistons, but what if rather than using an explosion to provide that pressure on the piston, you just stored your ‘fuel’ at a constant high pressure. That’s the concept behind the air car , and it looks like a pretty promising technology.

Cyclic hydrocarbons are molecular compounds with structures that can store high levels of energy. A variety of technologies have been developed to produce renewable jet fuels from biomass feedstocks. The synthesis of bio-jet fuels from lignocelluloses has also drawn much attention. Cyclic hydrocarbons (i.e.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. It is much more than that.
