LPG liquefied petroleum gas is considered a more eco-friendly fuel compared to traditional fossil fuels due to its lower carbon emissions and reduced sulfur content it offers a cleaner combustion process significantly reducing the release of pollutants like carbon dioxide and particulate matter into the atmosphere this makes LPG a preferable choice for reducing environmental impact and combating air pollution however it's important to note that LPG is still a non-renewable resource and its production and usage do contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.

Is CNG and eco-friendly fuel true or false true CNG compressed natural gas is considered an eco-friendly fuel because it produces fewer harmful emissions compared to gasoline or diesel it emits lower levels of carbon dioxide CO2, nitrogen oxides NOx and particulate matter contributing to a cleaner environment additionally CNG Vehicles often produce less noise pollution.

Why is CNG considered as an eco-friendly fuel CNG compressed natural gas emits lower levels of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides thereby reducing air pollution and contributing to better air quality furthermore CNG is non-toxic and less likely to contaminate water sources in case of a spill making it a safer option.

Jet fuel made out of carbon dioxide, water and sunlight. Scientist at ETH Zurich said they have created a carbon neutral synthetic gas by putting carbon dioxide water into a tower and using concentrated solar heat to break the molecules into hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Concentrated solar technology uses heliostats, these mirrors attracting the sun towards a specific point to concentrate its light and heat. This reaction requires very high temperature. According to Aldo Steinfeld, PROFESSOR OF RENEWABLE ENERGY CARRIERS, ETH ZURICH, It is provided by concentrating solar radiation by factor of 3000. This 'syngas' can then be used to create other fuels, like kerosene, methanol, and other hydrocarbon to be used in shipping and aviation. When combusted, only as much carbon dioxide is released as was originally taken in making it carbon neutral.

Synhelion, a company aiming to scale up the tech to industrial levels, is working with Swiss Air to produce aviation fuel specifically. It's production was set to began in 2024. According to Philipp Furler, CEO AND FOUNDER, SYNHELION, their goal is by 2025 to have the first full-scale commercial solar fuels plant in operation with a production capacity of 10 million litres of Methanol per year.

By reading your post I had get few more knowledge about this fuels. Wow you had explained us very clearly about the liquified petroleum gas and cng. The jet fuel explanation had excites me.

Thank you for visiting and understanding.
