Alternative fuels can be more polluting than even gasoline! Study

alternative fuels may boost pollution study says

With the buzzwords ‘alternative fuel’ industries are laying hands on resources for producing them in commercial scales, in turn, minting money out of the changing spree. And the result! They are resorting to even ones like liquid coal that actually cause more harmful greenhouse gas emissions, compared to the universally proved and accepted polluters like petrol or diesel.

It is in a new US study that scientists have warned on the gruesome consequences of such indiscriminate resorting to alternative vehicle fuels unscientifically. Although considered as a potential replacement to polluting fuels, do you know, liquid coal can generate 80 per cent more global warming pollution than even gasoline?!

As per the new report, corn ethanol can actually be either more polluting or less than gasoline depending, all depending on how the corn is grown and the ethanol produced.

But, the worry rises with the decision of replacing a fifth of all gasoline consumed in the US by 2030 with alternative fuel, which eventually may consist of liquid coal. And, if that happens, huge pollution — equivalent to what 34 million more cars on the road can produce — will be pumped into the air!
