Eco Fuels INTRODUCTION Eco fuels are "free energy" fuels that can be easily made and are environmentally safe. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Some Eco fuels can be made at home and some are bought from manufacturers that may or may not be local. The main identifier of Eco fuels are that they do not come through a utility meter. THESIS STATEMENT There are several fuels that already are available and free to use, once the user knows how to make, store and use them. I. Hydrogen may be used for heat, cooking and powering vehicles. It qualifies as an eco-fuel because it can be produced in a totally renewable way (Energy, 2006).

II. Alcohol: There are many types of alcohol, all being eco-fuels. Alcohol is derived from a bio-mass readily re-grown from the environment (Energy, 2006).

III. Wood: Wood is a bio-mass burned to produce heat and power. Public transportations, such as ships and trains were wood-driven, burning wood to create steam to drive the engines. Wood Gas may use wood to power 'modern' internal combustion engines (Our, 2006).

IV. Hydrogen Peroxide: Hydrogen peroxide is a promising fuel of the future, especially if combined with fuels that need oxidizing; such as alcohol (Advancing, 2006).

V. Turds: Turds may be dried. Then you can burn them just as any other bio-mass. Secondly they may be turned into methane. Methane (also known as natural gas) is an eco-fuel made from bio-mass that can be used to power our 'modern' internal combustion engines (Kay, 2006).

VI. Ethanol: Ethanol may be made from straw, agricultural waste, corn or sugar by using enzymes (Ljunggren, 2005).

CONCLUSION "Free energy" fuels have many benefits, one of them being that they do not deplete the earth's fossil fuel, another is that they are inexpensive and easy to make. But the most important is that most of them do not pollute the earth's atmosphere. RESTATEMENT OF THESIS These fuels already are available and free to use, but the user needs to know how to make, store and use them. CONCLUDING STATEMENT Eco fuels are the fuels of the future. Fossil fuels will have been depleted within the next 25 years and those using them should prepare for the future as well as protect the earth's atmosphere by finding out how to produce and use Eco-fuels.
