With the awareness of fossil fuel soon to be gone in the near future, scientists have been working on alternative fuel types to power automobiles.

These fuel types have to be able to fully power a car, keep the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions low, and also be cheap and made accessible easily.

Currently the most popular alternative fuel option available is the E85 Ethanol. Being a mixture of 85% of the fuel made out of ethanol, it is a combination of alcohol and gasoline. This mixture provides higher octane level which is 100 to 105 compared to the conventional petroleum gas which is 87 to 93. It is best used for high octane vehicle with a high compression ratio designed engine to deliver its optimum power.

With Thailand being the latest county to introduce E85 Ethanol in their automotive industry, the number of countries is growing to introduce this type of fuel. With incentives from the government to cut down on road tax in Thailand and also the exception of paying parking in Sweden, the E85 cars will be a hit in the near future compared to other hybrids currently on sale in showrooms.

Hydrogen fuel celled vehicles are currently also undergoing their final stage of development. With Honda leading the pack with the FCX Clarity to be soon launched in the US market, uses hydrogen fuel to charge a car. Problems faced may be the fuel cells are not cheap to produce and the instability of the cells being placed in the vehicle. Another major problem faced is that to realize the dreams of growth in the market, hydrogen recharge stations must be made easily accessible and infrastructures have to be in the ready state in order to persuade buyers into forking out their cheque books.
