Alternative fuels, also known as non-conventional or advanced fuels, are any materials or substances that can be used as fuels, other than conventional fuels. Conventional fuels include: fossil fuels (petroleum (oil), coal, propane, and natural gas), and nuclear materials such as uranium.
Some well known alternative fuels include biodiesel, bioalcohol (methanol, ethanol, butanol), chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), hydrogen, non-fossil methane, non-fossil natural gas, vegetable oil and other biomass sources.

Is oil sustainable as an energy source in the long term?
Oil is not sustainable as an energy source in the long term due to its finite supply and negative environmental impact. Alternative renewable energy sources are being developed to replace oil in the future.
What alternative energy resource can be captured by the sails of ships and originates from solar energy?
That would be wind! Wind is a renewable energy source (it can generate electricity). Wind also has its origins in solar energy.
Is light energy a raw material or a end product in photosynthesis?
Light energy is indeed considered to be a raw material. This is because it does not need to be altered by humans to be used.
What is a practical alternative energy source but still contributes to a pollution problem?
Biomass energy is a practical alternative energy source that can contribute to a pollution problem. While burning biomass like wood or crop waste for energy can reduce reliance on fossil fuels, it can also release greenhouse gases and particulate matter into the atmosphere, contributing to air pollution. Proper management and technology are needed to minimize these environmental impacts.
What alternative energy source is more efficient and sustainable than solar power?
Geothermal energy is considered more efficient and sustainable than solar power as it provides a consistent source of power without being dependent on weather conditions.
