Alternative Fuels
Data Center ¿ Many alternative fuels such as electric,
biodiesel and solar are being used today in place of fossil fuels like
oil. The ADFC is the U.S. Department of EnergyÍs resource for information
on these fuels
International Project for Sustainable
Energy Paths (IPSEP) This is a private research organization that
investigates innovative "no regrets" strategies that could mitigate
this threat of global climate change. Research focuses on energy and development
policies that can reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuel use while saving
money and improving the prospects of poorer and richer nations alike.
It was started in 1986 by Dr. Florentin Krause, then a staff scientist
at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory's Energy and Environment Division.
L'institut de l'³nergie
et de l'environnement de la Francophonie - IEPF is a subsidiary

U.S. DOE, Biofuels for
Sustainable Transportation - Biofuels are alcohols, ethers,
esters, and other chemicals made from cellulosic biomass such as herbaceous
and woody plants, agricultural and forestry residues, and a large portion
