Sustainable, non-petroleum fuel with energy, security, and environmental benefits. Examples include methanol, denatured ethanol, natural gas, hydrogen, electricity from solar, hydro, or wind energy.
any fuel for vehicles other than petroleum-based fuels examples: solar, electric, compressed natural gas, propane, alcohol, and hydrogen biomass - renewable source of energy that has been stored as plant and animal material; producing fuels from living materials or decayed waste materials; examples: manure, wood, compost, ethanol from corn, methane from landfillscalorie amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water
An alternative fuel is any fuel other than gasoline and diesel fuels, such as methanol, ethanol, compressed natural gas, and other gaseous fuels. Generally, alternative fuels burn more cleanly and result in less air pollution.
energy source that burns cleaner (creates less harmful air emissions) than traditional fuel, such as diesel. Alternative fuels used by refuse trucks include liquefied natural gas (LNG) or compressed natural gas (CNG). Waste Management has the largest fleet of 100 percent natural gas trucks in the solid waste industry, with the heaviest concentration of natural gas trucks operating at Waste Management of Southern California.
a fuel that aims to replace or complement traditional petroleum burning fuels to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles
Fuel other than petroleum diesel or gasoline.
An alternative to gasoline or diesel fuel that is not produced in a conventional way from crude oil, for example compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied petroleum gas(LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), ethanol, methanol and hydrogen.
Methanol, denatured ethanol, and other alcohols; mixtures containing 85% or more by volume of methanol, denatured ethanol, and other alcohols with gasoline or other fuels; natural gas; liquefied petroleum gas; hydrogen; coal-derived liquid fuels; non-alcohol fuels (such as biodiesel) derived from biological material; and electricity. 'P-Series' fuels were added to this list since the original definition in EPAct.
Any fuel (gaseous, liquid, or solid) that may be used in lieu of natural gas. Electricity shall not be considered as an alternative fuel for purposes of conversion.
a material of heating value to the combustion process sourced from waste and by products of other industries and the community, used instead of natural resources such as coal or gas.
any fuel for vehicles other than petroleum-based products. Examples are: electric, alcohol, hydrogen, solar.
As defined by the National Energy Policy Act (EPAct) the fuels are methanol, denatured alcohol and other alcohols, separately or in mixtures of 85 percent by volume or more (or other percentage not less than 70 percent as determined by U.S. Department of Energy rule) with gasoline or other fuels; Compressed Natural Gas (CNG); Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG); Liquefied Petroleum Gas LPG; hydrogen; "coal-derived liquid fuels; " fuels "other than alcohols" derived from "biological materials; " electricity, or any other fuel determined to be "substantially not petroleum" and yielding "substantial energy security benefits and substantial environment benefits."
a fuel used in vehicles that comes from a source other than petroleum, such as ethanol made from corn and biodiesel made from vegetable oil.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), propane is another alternative fuel.
A substance other than gasoline or diesel fuel, such as electricity, natural gas, hydrogen, and fuel cells.
Vehicles with engines that operate on a fuel other than gasoline or diesel. Alternative fuels include: natural gas (compressed and liquefied), propane (liquefied petroleum gas - LPG), hydrogen, biomass-derived fuels, alcohol (including ethanol and methanol), alcohol mixtures with gasoline or other fuels, electricity, or any other fuel determined to be substantially not petroleum and yielding substantial energy security and environmental benefits.
A fuel that can be used instead of traditional vehicular fuels such as gasoline or diesel.
is a fuel other than the one usually used.
Alternative fuel (alternate fuel), also known as non-conventional fuels, is any material or substance that can be used as a fuel, other than fossil fuels, or conventional fuels of petroleum (oil), coal, propane, and natural gas. The term "alternative fuels" usually refers to a source of which energy is renewable.
