This document includes information on the market in the United Kingdom for alternative fuels and alternatively fueled vehicles. It begins with background and policy implications of the 2008 Climate Change Act which requires an 80% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. A chapter on fuels of the future outlines the advantages, disadvantages, availability, infrastructure, and emissions of various fuels including: petrol, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, compressed natural gas, biofuels, electricity, and hydrogen. A chapter on vehicles of the future presents cost, performance, and greenhouse gas emissions data on: internal-combustion engine technologies, hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. A final chapter discusses market share predictions.
