Answer 1

I don't think that there is any such thing as a clean energy source. All fuels have pros and cons, some are better than others but all have some sort of impact on the environment. You need to consider not only the fuel but the complete cycle of obtaining that fuel.

Some examples:

- Fossil fuels is fairly obvious as the burning release CO2 into the atmosphere

- Hydro power - looks pretty good environmentally, but you have to consider the impact of the dam. The upstream flooding and the down stream changes in water flow

- Solar power uses raw material to make the cells, which come from mining, which has an impact on the environment. Also the energy to make a solar panel (currently mostly from fossil fuels; CO2 emissions) takes about 10 yrs to recover. The large area required to lay out the cells. However, this is about the least environmentally impacting energy source.

- etc; just look at the whole process of how the energy is obtained.

It depends on how you define clean on how to answer the question. But every source of energy has an impact on the environment; there is no one answer, magic pill. The choice of the most appropriate energy source is the one that is most appropriate for the local conditions taking into account all factors (ie solar is good for areas with good sunlight and bad for areas where it is cloudy and won't produce any energy during the night. Hydro power is no good if there are no damable rivers

Answer 2

I think the cleanest natural fuel is LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas). It causes very less emission of CO and CO2 . LPG is pretty safe enough for today !

Answer 3

Ethanol....it is renewable from sugar plantations
