  1. define green!  In some circles, green means no emissions, which means no energy use, therefore, the answer is NONE. On the other end of the spectrum where green means lower emissions than was the norm 10 years ago, there are a few.  

    Low sulphur diesels, a new invention that has helped.  All diesel engines made today in the S must use it.  Addition of small amounts of biodiesel help reduce emissions. Smaller light weight cars with enginesundere 1.8 literusingg gasoline would be in thatcategoryy too.

    Toward the bottom of the list in reduction is electric cars since they use energy from coal.  Oh, some will say that their electricity comes from hydro, its a lie, we all lie on a grid and we all share the power from it, even those that pay extra for green power cannot physically trace that electron to a windmill,

    Ethanol is toxic to humans and animals.  Ethanol produces more CO2 per mile driven than gasoline.  Ethanol has a higher volitility so in order to use it without it eveaporating away overnight, you must have a pressurrized fuel system, which vehicles post 1980 have, so there is little VOC escaping.  But because we mix ethanol with gasoline, the ethanols high volitility makes the L/V ratio go toward a high vapour ration meaning more benezenes are released into the atmospher.  Gasoline makers have countered benzene release from ethanol fuels and regular gasoline by converting benzene to cyclohexane.

    Ethanol has a high octane rating, but not one manufacturer has built a car for sale in the US to take advantage of this.  The only places where people take advantage is on race tracks, why you ask, because engines that take advantage cost twice as much.


  2. I currently run Bio Fuel (straight vegetable) in a 1999 Dodge 3500 truck. But all Cummins engines were modified from the factory to run on BioD since around 1992 without any modification.

    Most vehicles are already equipped to run on Alternative Energy. In fact you’re probably even driving one right now and didn’t even know it. Go to www agua-luna com for a list of this vehicles

    Ethanol doesn’t go bad like petroleum it’s just Alcohol. It’s what preserves your wine and gets better as the years go by.

    Ethanol is a much cleaner fuel than petrol (gasoline):



    It is a renewable fuel made from plants

    It is not a fossil-fuel: manufacturing it and burning it does not increase the greenhouse effect

    It provides high octane at low cost as an alternative to harmful fuel additives

    Ethanol blends can be used in all petrol engines without modifications

    Ethanol is biodegradable without harmful effects on the environment

    It significantly reduces harmful exhaust emissions

    Ethanol's high oxygen content reduces carbon monoxide levels more than any other oxygenate: by 25-30%, according to the US EPA

    Ethanol blends dramatically reduce emissions of hydrocarbons, a major contributor to the depletion of the ozone layer

    High-level ethanol blends reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 20%

    Ethanol can reduce net carbon dioxide emissions by up to 100% on a full life-cycle basis

    High-level ethanol blends can reduce emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by 30% or more (VOCs are major sources of ground-level ozone formation)

    As an octane enhancer, ethanol can cut emissions of cancer-causing benzene and butadiene by more than 50%



    Sulphur dioxide and Particulate Matter (PM) emissions are significantly decreased with ethanol.

    Lastly and my favorite.. It can be made at home.

    It will cost about $1.10 to $1.20/gal to make the alcohol from various feed-stocks like corn, barley, potatoes, or Jerusalem artichokes. You will also have by-products which you can sell or use as animal feed, reducing the total cost down to about $.95/gal.

    Biofuel is recognized by both the US Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy as an alternative fuel, and qualifies for mandated programs under the Clean Air Act Amendments and the Environmental Protection Act of 1992 (EPAct).

    USDA Clears Air with Biofuel: Buses and other diesel-burning vehicles run cleaner if they mix biofuel with regular diesel fuel, said the US Department of Agriculture at a biofuel fuel seminar at a USDA research center.

    Conversely most major automotive manufacturers (Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors, etc) recommend the use of bio fuels, and nearly every car manufacturer in the world approves ethanol blends in their warranty coverage.

    In fact your probably even driving an ethanol car and didn't even know it.

    The trick is finding fuel.

    I've been producing biofuel for about 3 years now, it's not extremely difficult. Basically you need general household ingredients, a processor (or still for ethanol) and some used oil. Blend it, let separate, screen and use. I complied a guide a while back to help walk you threw the process step by step, just email me or check out..

    Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

  3. well i know theres hydro powered cars, solar powered cars:these fit only 1 person, cars that run on nothing but thin air, annnd cars that run on cooking oil--for this you can get ur engine changed into one that is able to run on cooking oil

    *all these cars realease 0 emisiions

    not sure if all of them are on the market yet
