Dimethylfuran
Dimethylfuran can store 40% more energy than ethanol, does not evaporate as easily and is less volatile. It can be made from fructose, which can be obtained directly from fruits and plants or made from glucose.
But more work needs to be done to assess the environmental impact of this new fuel.
