Cars are a big factor to global warming, and
because of that the car industries try to develop their cars to be more
friendly to the nature. Many industries have made good progresses, but
we have a long way to go. Some of the new alternative fuels and car
manufactories are heading in the right direction, but is it enough to
save our planet?
In our group we think that we can't get rid of combustion engines.
It is very hard to find other engine types that match the same necessary
and good qualities that the combustion engine holds.
The type of engine that is most used besides the combustion engine
is the electric engine.
Electrical engines haven't the same kind of performance that combustion
engines have. People often search for the best and easiest way to
travel. It might be very hard to sell a car if the car you are marketing
is driven by electric power you must refuel it more often than gasoline
and diesel cars.
Where do you find a gas station that holds electrical power for an
electric car? Also, with new types of cars and engines, new problem
comes along with it. Very few mechanics of today know how to fix and
repair an electric car and you probably need new knowledge to be able
to fix your car at home, like many people do nowadays.
All these problems can make it really hard to have electrical cars
and finding a proper balance between electrical engines and renewable
fuel is required.
The most common “new” fuel today is the biofuel. Biofuel
is made of renwable sources and mainly biological materials such as
sugar cane, corn, maize and syrup.
The biofuel is the best fuel from an enviromental perspective because
of it's low carbonoxide discharge.
We belive in our group that biofuel is the fuel of tomorrow. It's
renewable and very good for the enviroment and therefore it's the
most sustainable fuel for the future. We don't think that people only
will choose this type of fuel just because it's enviromental efforts
but also for the convenience to be able to have it as it used to be,
but with better enviromental effects.
