With gas prices inching up, as well as, the constant reminder of the harmful environmental impact of fossil fuels, the quest to find another source of fuel has heated up considerably. Over the last few years, we have seen many amazing alternatives ranging from electricity to bio-fuel but none come even close to this latest invention - Fuel manufactured from air and water! That is exactly what engineers and scientists at U.K. based Air Fuel Synthesis (AFS) claim to have created.

- sciencerulz12년 이상Actually, I respect everyone's opinions. But in my opinion, maybe THIS kind of gasoline will produce much LESS pollution than the ones we usually use nowadays. Plus, it is already obvious that British people are very eco-friendly...
- Raymond D.12년 이상Wow, Snakeboy83 has an extremely valid point! Well done, sir!

snakeboy8312년 이상I hate to break it to you all, but this isn't that good of a thing to mass produce. The fuel is made of two things: air and water. Fresh pure water is surprisingly hard to get, as it needs to be processed from salt water, which takes a lot of steam and releases a lot of Co2. The air also uses resources to get the Co2 from it. The News Post doesn't say what the chemical catalyst (Co2 extractor) is either. Then there is an issue with how to power the reactor. The power in any grid is usually around 80-95% from non-renewable factories. They produce Co2, It rounds off to 79,452,000 tonnes everyday (By the way, I'm talking about the U.S.A alone). Then there is the Co2 emissions of planes and things that the "green" fuel itself will emit. This is around 29,000,000 tonnes (Still just the U.S.A) a day. In all, 108702000 tonnes of Co2 a day is produced (adding in what the water processors will produce) and that's still only the U.S.A. I've calculated this for only one machine by the way, keep adding 34,768,000 tonnes per machine, not including how much the chemical catalyst and machine would cost to produce. If you have any questions, or wish to argue about my statement, please reply. If you don't understand what I've wrote, please have an adult help or search it up. Just saying.- th12년 이상amazing articie
- I <3 elephants12년 이상This article is petty cool!!! This will be great for the future and the earth!
- SassQ12년 이상Good cause my bmw uses a lot of gas
weetlekinz12년 이상this is an amzing scientific break through.i still dont think its 100% possible though- Bubbles12년 이상If this could save the planet, why are these people reserving it for special cars!!!
partyhouse12년 이상Yes gasoline is bad for the planet , that's why they are coming up with these new recsorces.
