November 3rd, 2005 01:29 AM #1i really think its time for us to talk more about alternative fuels. anything about alternative fuels and the state of its development here in the philippines. we can't stay stuck on the fuels we have today because its getting too impractical to use and its not gonna be around forever.

November 3rd, 2005 02:16 AM #2Take your pick, for gasoline the alternative is ethanol ( a form of wood alcohol ) and CNG ( compressed natural gas - like from manure ) , for diesel, cocomethyester, or coco diesel made from coconuts. The bioexceed from seaoil is a diesel substitute, but it is still more expensive than diesel, but its renewable, ethanol is also from plants, also renewable, most of our ethanol come from Brazil, which uses 85% of it mixed with 15% gasoline. Sea oil's gasoline is all ethanol blended but only at 10% but their unleaded is at 95 octane like other premium gasoline which you have to pay extra.

LPG conversion for gasoline powered cars. There is a thread about it already.

Ethanol blends don't really run as well as full gasoline, but the upside to using an ethanol blend is that you're reducing the country's dependence on oil imports.
I vote for full-alcohol conversions! That way we can process it from sugarcane and coconuts. But this may be years away.

unfortunately unless you want your car to run on beer or lambanog, we don't have any sort of locally produced fuel that can be economically feasable on a widescale.
What is locally available is ethanol and bio-diesel. Both have limited production and 100% blends are much more expensive than what they replace (gasoline & diesel). Current solution is to use them mixed into the regular fuel supply, hence the 10% blended fuels we have at the moment.
