  • Keeping It At Home: Alternative Fuels
    By: Angie Tewis | - Rather than become less dependent on foreign oil, America is becoming more dependent. Most American families have more than one car, meaning an escalation in oil consumption, even with the corresponding escalating price of gas. A few years ago, we would part with fifty bucks tops to fill our tanks, now it is more like sixty or seventy.

    This expense has caused many a driver to downsize their vehicles. Swapping the gas hogs for smaller, more gas efficient models is the national pas ...

  • Biogas: The Renewable Answer To The Fuel Crisis
    By: Danny Miller Hamilton | - Biogas is a form of biofuel that utilizes a system of collecting waste from agricultural sources and processing them to produce a mixture of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3). Utilising the process of anaerobic digestion, otherwise known as fermentation, waste is left to decompose artificially (with an airtight digester tank) or naturally (in landfills). The gases generated from this system are harvested as Biogas. The converted raw material is as comb ...

  • Is Hydrogen The Fuel Of The Future?
    By: Roger Vanderlely. | - Hydrogen powered vehicles have been around in experimental form for decades, as has the technology required to produce their fuel source, Hydrogen gas. These vehicles are super clean, producing only water vapor exhaust. However, proponents of the technology state that mass implementation of this technology is still 10 to 20 years away. This is not a result of a lack of fuel or of efficient fuel cell designs to power the vehicles.

    Fuel cells are far more efficient in their use of fu ...
