“…Bio-DME is generated through the process of biomethanol dehydration or from bio-syngas in conjunction with biomethanol. Under normal settings, dimethyl ether (DME) exists in a gaseous state, which limits its use to specialized vehicles equipped with a pressurized fuel chamber, similar to those used for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) [69]. Bio-ETBE and bio-MTBE are types of bio-ethers, which are fuels commonly employed as additives to enhance the performance of fuel in the combustion chamber.…”

“…When considering CBG, LBG, or methanol as maritime fuels, it is evident that all of these alternative fuels provide distinct advantages over traditional fuel oil in terms of their environmental impact. To use biogas as a fuel for vehicles, it is necessary to purify it by removing CO 2 and other contaminants [69]. This process enhances the methane concentration and thus increases the heating capacity of the biogas.…”

Climate change necessitates urgent action to decarbonize the transport sector. Sustainable vehicles represent crucial alternatives to traditional combustion engines. This study comprehensively compares four prominent sustainable vehicle technologies: biofuel-powered vehicles (BPVs), fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), electric vehicles (EVs), and solar vehicles. We examine each technology’s history, development, classification, key components, and operational principles. Furthermore, we assess their sustainability through technical factors, environmental impacts, cost considerations, and policy dimensions. Moreover, the discussion section addresses the challenges and opportunities associated with each technology and assesses their social impact, including public perception and adoption. Each technology offers promise for sustainable transportation but faces unique challenges. Policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers must collaborate to address these challenges and accelerate the transition toward a decarbonized transport future. Potential future research areas are identified to guide advancements in sustainable vehicle technologies.
