Post-fossil fuel automotive technology is now under intensive development.
With the European Commission adopting its 130 g/km emissions target for the majority of new vehicles in 2012, the first step on the road to genuinely clean green cars has arrived.
There are a number of biofuels which include vegetable oil, biodiesel, bioalcohols like ethanol, bioethers, biogas and syngas which are produced from biomass. There is also a rapidly expanding interest in producing pure electric vehicles, with no internal combustion engine at all.
