I’m all for privately funded research in this area.

I'll probably take some pot-shots from the rabid environuts who visit here, but I don't think we need to replace the internal combustion engine. It is the most efficient engine they can come up with for now for the work that it does in America.
Even if a phenomenonally clean, inexpensive and plentiful power source was discovered, it wouldn't be long before the algore/chickenlittle types would start demonizing it to wedge their "fair share" of any profits derived from it.
It's not the gasoline, oil, or even cars that the lib enviro-nuts hate, it's the fact that it is in such demand that oil companies sell a lot of it, and the nuts want control of the energy sources in order to control the people.
Look around, anything that is in "demand", or necessary, (like healthcare) is what the progressives are wrapping their arms around. It's completely a control thing.
Internal combustion makes the world go round, and while the rest of the world is adding more cars and roads, the USA under progressives, wants to put us back in buckboards and stage coaches and then bitch about the horse$hi+.

I believe the long term answer to our alternative fuel is going to be provided by microbiologists. Biodiesel produced by algea or some yet to be discovered organism fed by the sun.
Personal transportation shouldn’t take more than a 3 cylinder turbo diesel. Made well, should haul you around for 500K miles or so.

Its really difficult to understand the reluctance to promoting and using CNG (natural gas) especially considering how plentiful it is right here in the USA.
Back in the 50’s and 60”s I remember many people using CNG or propane powered cars, pickups and tractors. Other than difficulty in finding refueling stations, everyone running gas powered seemed OK with it.
There is something in the picture that is hard to see, it is WHY.

The miles per barrel comparison is very misleading. The are using the average gasoline/diesel production and portraying it like a limit.
Those ratios are only the result of current market conditions in the US. Process units like Catalytic Crackers and Hydrotraters are designed to maximize gasoline production because the US demand is so great.
In places like Europe and South America, more diesel is produced.
Brazil (Petrobras) is currently in the early engineering phase of two new refineries that will produce no gasoline and maximize diesel production. My company is being evaluated to provide some of the technology.

Go for proven technology - Charcoal gas producer - "it's carbon neutral".
