Explanation:
Thema TRANSPORT
Sicher geht es hier um allternative Kraftstoffe (zu Benzin), und nämlich Gas-Kraftstoffe: Propan, Butan. Und das sind kohlenwasserstoffhaltige Kraftstoffe (carbon-based fuel).

Carbon-based Fuel Alternatives
The best way to reduce the pollution while keeping our cars is to start buying emission-free vehicles. Some people will argue that we should just run our current cars on alternative carbon-based fuels, such as propane or natural gas. These fuels are cleaner than gasoline or diesel (Nadis and MacKenzie 69) and would help clean the air of some pollutants, but the inescapable facts are that they are fossil fuels, their supplies are limited, and the greenhouse gas contributions are expected to be about the same as those of oil-based fuels (151). In other words, they still pollute. In fact, combustion of any fuel produces some emissions. Combusted fuel and burning crank case oil produce hydrocarbons while heat from the engine produces nitrogen oxides (Cannon 107). The only way to completely escape this pollution is by using electric motors (Begley and Hager 108). Vehicles using electric motors are completely emission-free and generally get their electricity from batteries, the sun, or hydrogen fuel cells

fossile Brennstoffe


Explanation:
Or is that a politically incorrect term these days? I think the plural is better here, assuming it means that 'emission standards have been determined for carbon fuels and these are improving (becoming progressively stringent?) by 1% per year'

"Fossile Brennstoffe" wären doch "fossile fuels"?
