What is the new energy fuel that replaces gasoline called?

The new energy fuel that replaces gasoline is called combustible ice. Here are the specific details about combustible ice: 1. Introduction: Combustible ice, also known as natural gas hydrate (mainly composed of methane), is an ice-like crystalline compound formed from natural gas and water under high pressure and low-temperature conditions. 2. Form: Combustible ice is mainly distributed in deep-sea sediments and terrestrial permafrost, with a higher concentration in Asia and Europe. In appearance, combustible ice resembles white or light gray snow and ice crystals. If there is a fire source, it can be ignited like solid alcohol, hence the name "combustible ice."
As an environmental enthusiast, I have always been interested in alternative energy fuels to replace gasoline, aiming to reduce carbon emissions. Currently, the mainstream option is battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs), which replace internal combustion engines with electric motors, offering zero emissions and the convenience of charging at home or public stations. However, a full charge takes several hours, making long trips somewhat inconvenient. Another option is hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs), which generate electricity from hydrogen and emit only water vapor, making them very clean. Refueling with hydrogen is quick, taking just minutes, but the infrastructure is limited, and they are currently only available in select cities as pilot projects. There are also biofuels like ethanol or biodiesel, derived from plants, which can be directly used in hybrid vehicles. They are affordable and biodegradable, but large-scale production could occupy arable land and affect food supplies. Looking at future trends, electric vehicles are the most widespread, with Tesla and BYD leading the market. I recently test-drove a Model 3 and found the experience smooth and perfect for urban commuting. Governments and automakers are accelerating the development of charging networks, and by 2030, EVs may become the new norm—both eco-friendly and economical.
