Abstract

Climate change is caused by the lack of attention of humanity towards the earth. Till now no one thought about the effect that pollution has on the planet that we live on. We used almost all natural resources on transportation fuels, without thinking that might affect the future generation. Now it appears the need to find innovative solutions that could help the fuel crisis that is to come. The first challenge is to discover the perfect fuel combination that is ecologically obtained and that gives as much energy as petrol based fuels. There are various biofuels that can be taken in discussion but replacing petrol-based fuels with them completely means that the car engine must be also changed. Therefore, we must find different solutions, such as hybrid cars, or adapted vehicles that can run only on biofuels and have low emissions, so that the degree of pollutants appeared due to transportation will decrease and the future of the planet will change.
