Green Gasoline Promises Half the Carbon Footprint of Normal Gas
Shortly after our June "Green Issue" dropped, an enthusiast reader wrote to us to say we missed a key alternative fuel technology from Houston-based Nacero: green gasoline constructed from renewable natural gas using renewable energy. He's counting on this miracle fuel to feed his beloved pony car well into the forecast electric future. Sure enough, Nacero's "green gasoline" products appear quite promising.
These fuels aren't carbon-free, but their carbon footprint is claimed to be at least half that of petroleum-refined gasoline. And they're naturally free of sulfur, which degrades catalytic converter effectiveness and contributes to ground-level ozone.
