Alternative fuels, also known as non-conventional and advanced fuels, [ 1] are fuels derived from sources other than petroleum. [ 2] Alternative fuels include gaseous fossil fuels like propane, natural gas, methane, and ammonia; biofuels like biodiesel, bioalcohol, and refuse-derived fuel; and other renewable fuels like hydrogen and electricity.
The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative is a diplomatic and civil society campaign to create a treaty to stop fossil fuel exploration and expansion and phase-out existing production in line with the targets of the Paris Climate Agreement, [3] while supporting a just transition to renewable energy.
A fossil fuel[ a] is a carbon compound - or hydrocarbon -containing material such as coal, oil, and natural gas, [ 2] formed naturally in the Earth's crust from the remains of prehistoric organisms (animals, plants and planktons ), a process that occurs within geological formations. Reservoirs of such compound mixtures can be extracted and ...
Alexander Joseph Epstein ( / ˈɛpstaɪn /) is an American author who advocates for the expansion of fossil fuels and is a skeptic of the scientific consensus on climate change. [ 1][ 2] Epstein is the author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels (2014) and Fossil Future (2022), in which he argues for the expanded use of fossil fuels like coal ...
Renewable fuels are fuels produced from renewable resources. Examples include: biofuels (e.g. Vegetable oil used as fuel, ethanol, methanol from clean energy and carbon dioxide [1] or biomass, and biodiesel), Hydrogen fuel (when produced with renewable processes), and fully synthetic fuel (also known as electrofuel) produced from ambient carbon dioxide and water.

[68] [69] Many fossil fuel companies have made commitments to be net zero by 2050. [70] At the same time they continue to increase greenhouse gas emissions by extracting and producing fossil fuels. [71] They claim that they will use carbon credits and carbon capture technology in order to continue extracting and burning fossil fuels.
Methanol may be made from fossil fuels or renewable resources, in particular natural gas and coal, or biomass respectively. In the case of the latter, it can be synthesized from CO 2 ( carbon dioxide) and hydrogen. [ 3] The vast majority of methanol produced globally is currently made with gas and coal. [ 4]
