POPSAir Car Compressed air cars are powered, in short, by air. Air is compressed and then it is released which is the source of propulsion. These air cars have been in the developmental stages for many years and are very, very close to reaching wide commercial markets.

POPSMethanol In the 1980s methanol was seen as a great alternative to gas and diesel. Car manufacturers put thousands of flexible-fuel vehicles (FFV) on the road that ran on a blend of methanol and gasoline (M85). It has since been surpassed by other fuels, although it remains the only propulsion fuel used at the Indianapolis 500. Its most important role right now is probably in the production of newer, emerging fuels, such as biodiesel, hydrogen, and dimethyl ether (DME).

POPSBio Gas a renewable cleaner fuel Advantages • It is renewable, and its production uses materials that otherwise collect in places such as landfills • It is a high octane, clean-burning fuel which doesn’t threaten soil, surface water, or groundwater. • Its extremely similar to natural gas, meaning it is highly compatible with an already well-established energy source that currently provides the US with one quarter of its energy needs • it is available in massive amounts domestically.

POPSCalifornia cows start passing gas to the grid Both BioEnergy Solutions and PG&E are actively courting dairy farmers, whose cow manure is now simply being used as fertilizer, allowing the methane to be released into the air as a greenhouse gas. Still, for now there are plenty of dairies to get on board. A second dairy in Fresno county has already agreed to join the Vintage Dairy project and Albers estimated gas from the two dairies combined could power 2,500 homes a day. The Vintage Dairy facility could accommodate gas from up to two or three more dairies, depending on the size, officials said

POPSPower From The Depths Like many other examples of renewable energy sources, this, by itself, is not a solution to the energy problem posed by peak oil - however, it is one more example of the dozens of local alternatives that can be exploited to meet our energy needs. ----- This could be considered the aquatic equivalent of generating energy using biogas from landfills or farm waste. -----

POPSWorldwide sanitation goal with recycling system 2.6 billion people worldwide do not have access to sewerage. We can turn human waste into renewable energy and fertilizer. An Indian Doctor, has developed a system which will do this, and the system can pay for it's self, whille it helps combat global warming. It can the be used in countries like China, and India where sanitation needs to be improved. Nature can't keep up, but we can give it help, and get other practical advantages such as a reduction in the spread of water borne diseases, like Cholera, and diarrhroea

POPSFrom Leftovers to Energy The results should shed light on the types of microbes living in the bioreactor and the types of genes that predominate. Researchers will also be able to examine how the community changes under different temperatures and acidities, which can drastically alter the efficiency of the system.
