As the world moves toward sustainable energy, alternative automotive fuels are gaining importance. Traditional fuels like gasoline and diesel contribute to pollution and climate change, prompting the rise of cleaner options. Electric vehicles (EVs), powered by rechargeable batteries, eliminate tailpipe emissions. Hydrogen fuel cells offer longer ranges and quick refueling, producing only water vapor. Biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel, made from plants or waste, reduce carbon emissions. Natural gas (CNG/LNG) is another cleaner-burning option, especially in public transport. These alternatives are shaping a greener, more secure future for transportation.
