The automobile industry has been blamed for polluting the environment for decades. Carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen are nearly absent due to improved engine design, fuel controls, and post-combustion exhaust gas treatment in catalytic converters. That leaves just one major tailpipe emission that must be controlled by the auto industry: CO2, which is another byproduct of combustion.

European car manufacturers aim to reduce average car emissions to 120 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kilometer by 2012.

4 ways to reduce carbon emissions

1. Improve the fuel efficiency of your car

2. Can use direct fuel injection, smaller displacements, cylinder deactivation under light loads, and multi-speed automatic transmissions.

3. You can also reduce carbon emissions by keeping tires properly inflated, engines in good running condition, and avoiding high-speed driving habits with frequent braking.

4. Scientists are also searching for alternative fuels for cars to prevent carbon emissions and global warming.

Test results with various alternative fuels for automobiles

• A car running on E85 (85% ethanol/15% gasoline) produces about 50% less CO2 than the same car running on gasoline.
• Hybrid vehicles reduce CO2 emissions by reducing fuel consumption and sometimes eliminating the operation of the combustion engine at times.
• Plug-in electric vehicles can be charged overnight or at the job site and work well for short trips. But, this electricity has to be generated and the electricity generation process is not completely green.

Gasoline prices have already reached $4.2 per gallon as of today. This increase in the price of gas has completely changed the situation. Now people are desperate to search for alternative fuels for cars in order to reduce monthly fuel expenses.

Hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles are the newest buzzword. Several small inventors used old, US-patented technology to generate brown gas (HHO) from tap water. In this case, some electricity from your vehicle’s battery is used to separate the water into a gas called “HHO” (2 parts hydrogen + 1 part oxygen). Brown gas burns beautifully with gasoline. It is reported on the water4gas forum that 1 liter of tap water is required to drive 900 miles. Brown gas or HHO is a fast growing trend to increase engine performance, mpg. You can reduce your fuel expenses due to increased mileage. Most importantly, there will be no carbon emissions with the hydrogen conversion kit that runs on tap water in this case.

Gasoline cars will dominate the roads in the near future. However, you can run your car on water using brown gas to manage rising fuel costs, reduce global warming and carbon emissions. The most important thing to make this happen is that you shouldn’t spend more than $150 and 2 hours of installation.
