biofuel
What if GHG emissions could be recycled. What if our organic waste could be turned into fuel rather than going to landfill. This is the promise of biomethane and 2nd-generation biofuels.

There are certainly fast green cars out there, as we recently proved in our mini 'green grand prix' at Silverstone. However, energy efficiency is greatly reduced when travelling in excess of 70mph and this is one of the main reasons why 'eco-friendly' cars are generally 'not that fast'. A top speed of over 70mph is largely irrelevant anyway as there are few places in the world where it's actually legal to drive that fast. Despite this, we can't help but fantasize about super-fast cars and it's often used as a very effective selling point.
Here at eco-rally.org, we do publish the top speed for every vehicle that has appeared in our events, but we also publish the more useful 'average city speed', i.e. how fast you can accelerate to the speed-limit and maintain it whilst zipping through congested traffic. This is where small, lightweight electric cars and bikes tend to excel. Registered users can compare all green vehicle stats here: http://www.eco-rally.org/compare.
