From the point of view of environmental protection, the development of vehicles and their drives is determined in the future by the constant tightening of exhaust gas requirements. In addition, measures to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are increasingly influencing the concept of vehicle and drive optimization.
Since most of the world's energy consumption is taken by transport, mainly cars, manufacturers are often faced with the need to develop and implement new, increasingly energy efficient and environmentally friendly energy methods - for example, the use of unconventional fuels, including: alcohol fuels (ethanol and methanol), biodiesel, Fischer's fluid -Tropsch, hydrogen fuel. So, the long-term guaranteed supply of transport energy, together with sound fuel management, ensures the medium and long-term diversification of energy for its production, especially, including alternative and renewable energy.
Much has happened over the past decade, although policy goals remain unchanged for many countries improving energy security and limiting greenhouse gas emissions may be more important than ever. And, unprecedentedly, energy use in transportation is at the heart of these issues. New methods are needed to free transport from its persistent dependence on oil and take a new path. But technology has made interesting progress, and this progress will continue in the coming years, creating new opportunities to achieve these goals. Unsurprisingly, interest in biofuels and their production has skyrocketed over the past decade. Global production of total ethanol doubled between 1990 and 2021. In some regions, especially in Europe, the use of biofuels for diesel engines has also increased significantly in recent years. Perhaps most importantly, countries around the world are now seriously considering increasing the production and use of biofuels, and many countries have formulated policies to ensure this growth.
