The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy in the automotive sector is
critical for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving sustainability. This paper
presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of renewable energy sources for
automobiles, focusing on hydrogen, electric, biofuel, synthetic fuel, and solar energy
options. Specifically, it evaluates hydrogen as a gasoline additive in internal
combustion engines (ICEs) and compares its potential and limitations with other
renewable sources in terms of efficiency, environmental impact, cost, and
infrastructure. The findings highlight the promise and challenges of hydrogen-gasoline
blends and outline key considerations for the future adoption of renewables in the
automotive industry.
