The Beginner’s Guide to Alternative Fuel Sources

Most people are well aware of the significant environmental impact caused by cars, especially when it comes to air quality. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reported that the transportation sector is responsible for over half of all air pollution in the United States. The main culprit behind this statistic is the fuel used by most vehicles: petroleum-based gasoline. This gasoline is burned in an internal combustion engine, leading to harmful emissions, such as carbon monoxide, being released into the atmosphere. With growing environmental awareness, more car manufacturers and drivers are turning toward alternative fuel sources to curb these negative effects.
