eco-friendly fuel

Sustainable combustion source

Eco-friendly fuel is any fuel source designed to minimize environmental harm compared to conventional fossil fuels.

The category includes biofuels, hydrogen, and electricity from renewable sources.

The term appears frequently in discussions of transportation and energy policy: The city converted its bus fleet to eco-friendly fuel.

Marketing sometimes stretches the label to cover fuels with only marginal environmental benefits.
