Ethanol, long an additive to gasoline, is by itself an alternate car fuel which burns more cleanly than fossil fuels. Most internal combustion engines, however, cannot burn pure ethanol so it is used as an additive. Biodiesel is similar, made from oils of plants such as soybeans or animal fats, then added to traditional diesel fuel. Hydrogen cells and electric batteries are other sources of alternative car fuels.

What fuels can be grouped as alternative fuels?
"Alternative fuel" is an imprecise term that seeks to contrast certain fuels with what might called traditional fuels. Traditional fuels would include coal, oil, gas, and wood as a few examples. It is not possible to produce a definitive list of products but here are some suggestions. Carbon based alternative fuels might include ethanol from bio-mass, recycled bio-mass from agriculture or forestry operations, peat dug from soils rich in organic matter. Non carbon based alternative fuels include solar energy used to produce electricity or hot water, wind, waves, tidal energy, hydro-electric, hydrogen and more. Nuclear power can sometimes be considered to be an alternative energy source or a traditional one.

Why do people need to develop alternative sources of renewable energy and become less dependent on fossil fuels?
Mainly two reasons. (1) The fossil fuels will eventually be used up. (2) Fossil fuels cause pollution.
What are the uses for biofuels?
Fuel produced from renewable biomass material, commonly used as an alternative, cleaner fuel source. Bio fuels are most commonly used to power vehicles, heat homes, and for cooking. Solid biomass is also used. This can be used for power production.

What substances are fuels made of?
Fuels are typically made of hydrocarbons, which are compounds composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Common fuels like gasoline, diesel, and natural gas are derived from petroleum, which is a mixture of hydrocarbons. The specific composition of fuels can vary based on the refining process and additives used.
