Alternative Fuels

Alternative fuels are energy sources used to power vehicles or equipment that are not derived from traditional fossil fuels, such as petroleum and natural gas. These fuels are developed to reduce dependence on oil, minimize environmental impact, and promote sustainability. Common types of alternative fuels include electricity (used in electric vehicles), hydrogen, biofuels (like biodiesel and ethanol), propane, natural gas, and even renewable sources like solar and wind energy when converted to fuels. The use of alternative fuels is often encouraged to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and enhance energy security by diversifying energy sources.
