There are many alternative fuel ideas and a variety of alternative fuels program.
A video was uploaded to our main site Green Energy TV that shows how how a Danish company is taking a waste product from making paper and turning it into an alternative fuels program.
The company is named Haldor Topsøe, and they are a an energy innovation technology which can transform black liquor (a waste product from paper production) into DME (DiMethyl Ether).
DME is a clean fuel, but can also be used for cars. Volvo, one of the project partners, has tested DME and named it 'the preferred fuel' among the green fuels available. The project taking place in Sweden, uses the entire technology chain: from the paper mill supplying black liquor via gas stations for fueling DME to trucks actually running on DME.

We hear a lot of news about Solar Energy, Wind Power and alternative fuels program, etc. but not too often do we hear about waste being used as energy.
A video was uploaded to our main site Green Energy TV showing how Waste Management takes landfill waste and converts it into energy.
The energy converted from waste can power 650,000 homes EVERY day. How do they do it? They use technology called Wheelabrator.
Wheelabrator - is a waste-to-energy technology that converts solid waste into clean, renewable electric power. Since the 1970s, Wheelabrator facilities have turned over 145 million tons of municipal solid waste into 75 billion kilowatt-hours of energy.

Gas prices will probably always continue to fluctuate, and there is still a growing interest in energy independence, renewable fuels and an alternative fuels program.
Interest in domestically produced bio-fuels like ethanol (E85) is still on the rise. Coskata Inc., a leading developer of alternative fuels program on bio-fuels, announced the successful start-up of its semi-commercial flex-ethanol facility.
Cool Fact: Flex Fuel vehicles that can run on gas, E85 or a combination of both, and are already available from Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge and GMC. GM has built 5 million of these vehicles to date.

Is this all correct and what is it based on? The calculation both companies used for their vehicles is based on an Environmental Protection Agency proposal for calculating “mpgs” for electric cars.
Many experts believe that the EPA mileage ratings will change and there may be various ways to measure alternative fuels program in the near future.
As for cost, the Chevy Volt will retail around $40,000 and the Nissan Leaf will be in the neighborhood of $25,000-$30,000. These costs are not factoring in any of the tax incentives for going green yet either.
Let us know what your thoughts are on these two vehicles in the comments below and let's keep this conversation going.
There are plenty of alternative fuel ideas and alternative fuels programs where people use soy, switch-grass and many other vegetables and plants and convert them into a fuel.
But green algae energy continues to grow rapidly, not just in a lab, but in production across the country. Using algae as a replacement for oil is a real game changer and we continue to follow the development of this green algae energy market.
Millions of dollars from VC's to angel investors is pouring into the alternative fuels program for the development of algae as a fuel.

The question is how many people are still pulling their trucks, cars and other vehicles up to a McDonald's or a fast food place or restaurant and taking the used cooking oil, filtering it and then filling up their gas tanks with the used oil?
Gas prices are starting to rise again, and even though the price of oil has been lower for a while, I am curious to know how many people out there are still using alternative fuel ideas, renewable fuels and their green inventions to take used cooking oil or another type of alternative and clean fuel to power their vehicles like the gentleman is doing in the video below:

There has been a lot of progress on green algae energy, and there are more and more companies who are looking to use algae as a replacement for today's diesel, gasoline and other petroleum based products.
The video talks about how it is a clean energy innovation and claims that 98% of the water is recycled, no chemical toxins or waste product and the micro crops absorb CO2.

VK Nardep won an Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy. It had installed 2,000 biogas plants in southern Tamil Nadu, India, to provide biogas for household cooking.
The plants use cattle manure to produce:
- biogas
- saving fuel-wood
- reducing air pollution and fly-borne diseases.
Check out this short video clip and Ashden Award Winner's video:
One hundred local farmers now have a secure income supplying the plant with biomass made from a local plant and along with businesses nearby they now have stable, clean power for eight hours a day.
The gasifier saves around 100 tonnes of CO2 a year from diesel. Saran Renewable Energy's clean alternative fuels program is helping companies going green through their energy innovation, saving money, creating green jobs and by using green inventions and clean technology.

It was recently reported that gas prices will hit around $5.00 per gallon in the next couple months. We seem to have a short term memory when it comes to gas prices, but when they are high, we come up with alternative fuel ideas.
T. Boone Pickens has been pushing his alternative fuel ideas and alternative fuels program for a while. He outlines a plan to get America off of foreign oil, and urges people not to wait. It appears that when the gas prices increase again, we will have another call to action to do something about it.
If you are looking to get a head start or want to refresh your memory of last summer when gas prices were over $4.00 per gallon, then feel free to watch the T. Boone Pickens video below:

I just read the article by Jean H. Lee, from the Associated Press regarding South Korea's alternative fuel ideas.
"Cars form many problems that we see in Korea as well as other countries. We use hydrocarbon organic fuels, mostly petroleum, and that, in turn, creates environmental problems — and Seoul is notorious," said Suh Nam-pyo, president of KAIST in Daejeon, south of the South Korean capital.
Seoul, population 10 million, is getting warmer three times faster than the world average, the National Meteorological Administration said Monday.
In this Feb. 27, 2009 photo, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, front seat, sits on an electric vehicle during its test drive at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon, south of Seoul, South Korea, Friday, Feb. 27, 2009. Engineers at KAIST university are working on a novel prototype for an electric vehicle system: one that provides power on the go through a network of strips laid into the roadway. (AP Photo/Yonhap, Jo Bo-hee)
How does this work? KAIST's "online" vehicles pick up power from trips, or inverters, embedded into the road rather than transmitted through rails or overhead wires. A small battery, one-fifth the size of the bulky batteries typically used, would give the vehicle enough power for another 50 miles (80 kilometers), said Cho Dong-ho, the scientist in charge of the project.
Mueller, the consultant, called it a creative approach with potential. "It sounds very intriguing; you don't store your energy, you provide it on the go." he said. "The (battery) storage problem is overcome instantly. That would be a very intriguing way of doing it."

Stay tuned for upcoming topics that will cover alternative fuel ideas, energy innovation, green inventions, eco friendly inventions, alternative fuels programs, electric cars, green cities and more.
According to GM, they currently have over one hundred, hydrogen-powered Chevrolet Equinoxes on the road and they are being used by real consumers to help understand what it will take to bring the vehicles to market. Researchers are continually working to replace the fossil fuels we currently depend on to power our vehicles with clean, renewable energy. Hydrogen fuel cells run cleaner than gasoline engines and have zero emissions.
In addition to this current project, GM will have the Chevy Volt on the road soon and will continue to work and research coming up with additional energy innovations, green inventions and battery storage projects.

Venter has developed the first synthetic genome through his private company Synthetic Genomics (www.syntheticgenomics.com). So what does this green invention mean for us and the future of alternative fuels? With the creation of the first synthetic genome, Venter will have the capacity to engineer "biological robots" or synthetic microorganisms that will produce chemicals and alternative fuels such as ethanol and hydrogen. What an amazing idea from one of the best green companies around today!
Venter stated "Over the next 20 years, synthetic genomics is going to become the standard for making anything. The chemical industry will depend on it. Hopefully, a large part of the energy industry will depend on it. We really need to find an alternative to taking carbon out of the ground, burning it, and putting it back into the atmosphere. That is the single biggest contribution I could make".
How exciting! I hope the Obama's Environmental Task Force is taking notice and following this alternative fuel pioneer because his work and ideas could change our country in a monumental way!
Check out this video below, where Craig Venter talks about his green invention of synthetic genomics:
