Craig F Stevens asked: Ethanol cars work in a way very similar to normal gasoline cars, and are a great viable alternative fuel option because of current high gas prices. The only real difference is that ethanol car engines are able to utilize the biofuel ethanol instead of oil based gasoline. Ethanol fuel itself is extracted from plants such as …

With rising oil costs and environmental concerns has come increased pressure on the motor industry to develop an alternative and greener fuel to power the world’s vehicles. But would ethanol be a viable alternative to petrol (gas)? Ethanol is largely seen as an environmentally friendly alternative to petrol. It is made from crops such as sugarcane in Brazil and soyabean …

In their new book, CLEAN ENERGY NATION Congressman Jerry McNerney, a renewable energy expert, and technology writer Martin Cheek assess the positive and negative aspects of various alternatives.

There’s a lot of energy that we can harness if we only attempt to research and develop the technologies needed to do so. We will escape from the fossil fuels and the old electrical grids by turning to alternate choices to these energy sources. One of those alternate energy resources is wind energy. Air turbines continue to be developed that …

There is a lot of energy that we can harness if we only attempt to research and develop the technologies wanted to do so. We will be able to run away from the traditional fuels and the old electric grids by turning to alternate choices to these sources of energy. One of those alternative energy resources is wind energy. Wind …

There’s a lot of energy that we are able to harness if we only try to research and develop the technologies wanted to do so. We will get away from the ordinary fuels and the old electric grids by turning to alternatives to these power sources. One of those alternative energy resources is wind power. Wind turbines remain developed that …

Muna wa Wanjiru asked: Algae is a major renewable fuel which can be used to manufacture Biodiesel. One of the companies in New Zealand successfully developed a system for using sewage waste as a substrate for algae and then it produce bio-diesel. An alga is considered as the highest yield feedstock for biodiesel that can produce more enough oil compared …
