Alternative Eco-Friendly Green Fuels for Car

Day-by-day environment is getting polluted with release of dangerous gases in to the atmosphere due to which people are looking for eco-friendly products and things to save the environment. Many electronic goods are environmental friendly today. In the same way, cars are also manufactured eco-friendly so that they suit for green fuels which doesn't cause damage to the environment. Here are a few eco-friendly green fuels that you can use for your car.

Ethanol
Ethanol is the greenest fuel and is environmental friendly as it is derived naturally. This fuel can be used as an alternative to petrol as it is less polluting because it won't produce any kind of Sulphur dioxide or lead emissions. In US ethanol is available in two types one is E10 and other is E85. E85 has many advantages like very low air pollution, engine knock is reduced, etc. Almost 10 % of  cars in UK also run on ethanol as it brings great advantages to the environment and the car.

Bio-diesel
Bio-diesel is nothing but vegetable oil which is alternative diesel for cars that run on gasoline and it is environmental friendly. This oil is produced from recycled grease. It is said that the engines that are running with bio-diesel are long lasting and runs smoothly with less pollution than the gasoline oil. This oil is safe to use as it is bio-degradable and non-toxic and net carbon emission is very less than the petrol.

Natural gas
The cars that run on natural gas use two types of fuel oils, one is CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and the other is LNG (Liquified Natural Gas). Natural gas is a fossil fuel which contains methane mostly. The engines of the natural gas are less resistant to corrosion and they emit less carbon pollutants or compounds in very less amount. It is cheap when compared to the gasoline and is one of the cleanest burning alternative fuel oils. But, the disadvantage is the vehicles that run on natural gas are not available in more models.

LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas)
It is blended from butane and propane. The engines that run with the help of LPG are eco-friendly and are fuel efficient than the non bio-fuel i.e. petrol. The emission of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are less. This fuel is suitable for heavy vehicles.
