From Gallons to Gigawatts: The Future of Automobile Fuel

Thesis:

Environmental issues are at the forefront of world news right now. As governments and companies find ways to lessen their greenhouse gas emissions, many options are available to reduce the impact of automotive emissions on the environment. Many automobile companies have started to roll out their strategies to reduce their vehicles’ impact on the environment and how they plan on introducing these strategies on the scale required to match or beat government regulations. The future for cars, as demonstrated by many of the world’s leading automakers, is likely going to be electric, due to the simplicity of infrastructure upgrades required to support it. However, it will not be like flipping a switch, as many people will not be able to switch vehicles overnight. It will take time, and there will be fuels and technologies to bridge the gap for a transition to electric vehicles with biofuels and synthetic fuels made using carbon capture.
