discussion was about lower Carbon Footprint, not *Zero* carbon fuels.
cheers!

Bio fuels are still carbon-based. Though you might argue they are
carbon-neutral if they are made from biomass taken from the current
environment, as opposed to fossil fuels.

your perspective appears biased; as if you're only thinking about
Petro-based fuels. ;-)
the odds are they're thinking about something else completely (like
BioDiesel is supposed to be, for example).
the goal is to move to a fuel that has a lower overall Carbon
Footprint than the current petroleum-based fuels. many folk were upset
after finding out that the Emissions systems on their new 'Clean
Diesels' won't accommodate BioDiesel use, and the idea is that the
flexibility to use lower Carbon Footprint fuels should be part of any
design from here forward.

So this morning on National Propaganda Radio there was a story about
CARB voting 9-1 to require "lower carbon fuels" and encouraging
refiners to make "lower carbon fuels" and car makers to accommodate them.
I am trying to figure out, what exactly is a "lower carbon fuel?" Is
that like methane (CH4) as opposed to any higher carbon chain
molecule? Is it by weight, volume, energy content/density, what?
Hydrogen?
