- Dig into which fuel- gasoline, electric, biofuels, or electrofuels- is both affordable for consumers and sustainable for the planet.
--
Historically, most cars have run on gasoline, but that doesn’t have to be the case in the future: other liquid fuels and electricity can also power cars. So what are the differences between these options? And which one’s best? Dig into which fuel- gasoline, electric, biofuels, or electrofuels- is both affordable for consumers and sustainable for the planet.

Ok
These videos are made up of repeated facts,
Very less new information!
Yehaa
Can we get all seven in a playlist?
Could you please do a video on something relating to theatre or books? I would love to see animation on theatre plays that you look into, perhaps The Frogs by Aristophanes or Antigone by Sophocles; or looks at the works of Tennessee Williams, Caryl Churchill, Lorraine Hansberry; and the theatre practitioners who changed theatre, Bertolt Brecht, Antonin Artaud, Stanislavski or modern companies like DV8. Please create content on these topics! Would love to learn more of these and see you talk of them!!

Damn that animation is good...
So the personal automobile only accounts for 8% of carbon emissions. When do we target the heavy hitters, corporations, on their emissions.

You want TED to shutdown?
I’ve been saying this for years. Driving and maintaining a 50 year old big block Chevy is more eco conscious than that new Tesla. People are just addicted to buying new stuff, Tesla just provides the pretence that their purchase is justifiable since it’s “eco conscious”.
It would be very interesting to hear more about the biofuels and the research on them so far.
the animation holy 3:48 and whoever thought of this is a GENIUS
Really love the animation in this video. The style is so subtle yet refined... Very much looking forward to seeing more from Kevin Herrmann :)
The man behind the Demon of Reason!
Sad that you didn’t consider the damage the production for electric car batteries is causing. Also there are Hybrid Cars which are also an option!
I love how you completely ignore the problems created when mining for the minerals required for batteries for electric automobiles and the in evitable problems with the disposal of spent batteries
also the massive carbon footprint that comes from constructing and maintaining roads and the use of rubber tires
the best electric car is a train.
@@jupitersinthebeans and Trams
@@greenleafyman1028 yes!
Who remembers The _Adam Ruins Everything Ep_ about Electric Cars being powered by Diesel power fields.
I have.
Yes
Electric plus renewable energy is required
Electric car will be capable to use renewable energy once its available, possibly capable to replace their lithium batteries into something else in the future. How about that smelly diesel car?

Best fuel for your car : Hydrogen
Methods to extract Hydrogen are :
1) Absorbing methane directly from air and using scrubbers to convert the gas into hydrogen and carbon.
2) Electrolysis of water (H2O) : Seperates 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom.
3) Natural gas can be split into parts hydrogen and one part carbon. The hydrogen can used for fuel and leftover carbon, once solidified, can be used to create speciality materials for sectors like space, auto, shipbuilding, electronics and more.
THE FIRST ONE IS STILL UNDER RESEARCH. 😉😇
I am from India 🇮🇳 in ap state in eee branch in engeenering this will helps me to desigine a project on electrical vehicles Thank you for good animation
I was expecting this more to be about which fuel type has the best energy ratio. I thought gas was around 15% energy efficient and diesel is 20%. Its something crazy like that because of heat and sound engines create
I like how Ted are focusing on greenhouse gasses and electricity in this period. They are sort of foreshadowing for the next world crisis after covid-19.
Ted ed has become the "Climate Change Education Channel" and I am okay with this :)
@@oliverelfenbaum7119 please don't self promote and scam people like that.
0:15, I wonder which car model the electric one is XD
I also dunno bro, guess we have to ask Elon Musk about it! ;-)
I hope one day, I could fund this channel because the information and knowledge acquired from this channel is gold. 😃💯
This is very useful information given I’m 13 years old
Stay imaginative my friend
In brazil we use Ethanol that is made from sugar-cane leftovers, it is cheaper than regular gasoline and just a bit less efficient. our cars can also use both the gasoline and the ethanol from the sugar-cane
Interesting! Thank you so much for sharing. I'll be following news about those.

"And i've been putting out fire with gasoline"
Me: wait that's illegal
I love TED-Ed, and very much resonate with the message of alternate energy and addressing climate change. However I wish they would have shown that electric cars are NOT without their "cost", especially in the mining and refining of materials for the batteries themselves. I feel it could have been shown in the video and still demonstrated that it is preferable to our traditional fossil fuel approach, and then would have been a more honest depiction of reality
everyone knows that there are environmental costs to producing the cars themselves, both gas powered and electric. currently, cars stay on the road for an average of 10 years, at 15,000 miles a year, either burning fossil fuels or running on cleanly produced electricity. what is the longterm balance of costs then? would be good to know, but it all depends, doesn't it?
my thought is that our disposable, consumer driven world, a HUGE environmental savings would be to require cars to be made to last much longer. after all, a car is an item made up of replaceable parts, so theoretically should last forever unless they get totaled.
Or... you just take a bike, one of the most efficient ways of transport and healthy at the same time
It depends on a lot of things,but it's not an efficient solution.
Handicapped
@@ClownDollThatHasContemptForYou From many angles it is, for example the footprint required for bicycle infrastructure is way lower compared to cars and you dont need as many carparks.
you only move the driver in combination with the low weight and therefore low friction of a bike compared to the heavier car, using only a fraction of the power.
Even if you dont want to cycle (that much), there are electric bicycles which allow you to go up to 50km/h without much effort and power requirements.
@@macdam11 what if i need to travel really far?
I mean it's good for short distances or if you live in a city, but for longer distances it's not feasible.

How about the car battery manufacturing? It has some drawbacks too. I'm just saying we can't leave that out of the conversation if we want an open and honest one.
This video is *_fuel_* of information, thanks Ted!
Yikes
Stop
Hydrogen is undoubtly the fuel of Future!
one of the best graphic visualization ever.....
POV: You don't have a car and you are not interested in cars, but you like TedEd videos
I wish I could live in a place and have a job that doesn't requires me to have a car. Sadly, I do not.
The animation is suuperrr smoooth 😍😍😍😍😍
1:59 am i the only one who really likes this smooth and satisfying af transition?
What’s the best fuel for your car? Wrong question.
Reduce using a car and adopt public transportation whenever possible would be a good step to a greener environment.
Came here to know what fuel would be best for my car
Left here learning about sustainable energy sources
Same bruh. Not unhappy about it but now I need a TedEd on what fuel is best for my car haha.
Why represent fossil fuels as a dead dinosaur while it's the dead and decayed phytoplankton and plants which mostly have formed these fuels?
because it's easier for interpretation. Not a lot of people have ideas what a phytoplankton looks like
I love the narration
The music is always stunning.
0:27 It would be more accurate to use a plant fossil here... The hydrocarbons of oil are less animal-based and more plant-based.
Doesn't really answer the question though :P
There is another way. It is not realistic, but better. We need to reduce our dependence on cars as a means of transit. We can get to different places without cars, such relying on public transportation, bicycles, or just walking.
In Brazil we pay about the same for sugar cane ethanol and gasoline, per distance travelled, I believe
Remember each person has their own use case when effect s their fuel choice.
The narration was nice and simple I didn't realize that I watched entire video without using subtitles 😊
People hate on the cyber truck but it’s undoubtedly the coolest silhouette
Its shameful that almost everything we do emits greenhouse gases in some way or other.
So we should not have industrialised?
Governments should stop subsidies for fossil fuels. Right now.
1:54 Incorrect. They need lots of copper and lithium. Mining those metals can only be done with diesel powered heave equipment. Also, cars have lots of plastics which come from refined hydrocarbons.
I like your videos as electrician getting an electric car fixes expensive changing a battery on one of those cost a fortune they are not feasible for transportation
Oil doesn't come from dinosaurs. It comes from ancient plants.
I'm loving these series
Plants need CO2 for growing. I wonder how the rise in CO2 level affected crops rate and trees growth. Did plants become growing faster, or not?
The best fuel is petrol. The sound of a high performance engine and feel of it is intoxicating. Nothing beats that feeling of joy it gives.
Yep 63 views with 191 likes.. youtube algorithm back at it again..
could someone link me some sources about subsidies for oil companies in the US? no older than 3 years pls

Ted is in my head!
Just was thinking about it today for the first time in my life.
Alternative is to go on foot or bicycle (no fuel needed), or use public transport
The one that is supposed to go in your car.
The questions is not which is best for your car but which is best for your lifestyle, and its probably petrol or a hybrid.
Ted-Ed is taking all the points from "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need" by Bill Gates.
Ted-Ed is really making it easier for all the nonreaders through graphical videos.
I also read that keoniseg also working on alternative source that can be used ..I don't have full info about it just that they are using some material from Antarctica
You know I always wonder what would be the best fuel. And know I am like then plant based fuel is the best ? Then plants that doesn't require fertilizer. You think are getting trickier to understand. But you Ted-ed just want to make me learn even more. Thanks for that. Your video will alway make me think what can be better for the world.
Prior to Henry Ford putting a gasoline motor in his Model T, cars were made to run on many fuels, including electric. Unfortunately the best battery tech at the time was acid based, plus the fact that not every house had electric service so recharging at home was impossible.
I want to learn more about hydrogen fuels!
Though we may be going though ozone deletion but I wanted to aske that the method at 2:51 make ozone?
Also since excess of things is sometimes dangerous, does excess of O3 cause any problems?
I think that people should us solar energy and especially in deserts like the Sahara desert in Africa can be a great source of heat and energy since it’s very hot there.
That doesn't mean we can cover Sahara with solar panels. There is a video on channel called *what if* which has made video on this
@@mitesh2k3 oh I haven’t seen it yet, my point is since it’s so hot and sunny there we can use that energy to power electrical cars and anything that needs electricity to work. That way we can protect the investment and save a lot of our resources.
@@raydahgray2893 heat itself is not useful, a temperature difference is. heat degrades solar cells btw.
@@NoHandleToSpeakOf Not to mention the crazy maintenance needed to keep the panels working in a place that is not only hot but windy as well...
3:16 the no symbol requires the line to point downward from left to right., otherwise, you're indicating something other than "no". ffs
Was doing a project on which fuel is best when this was realeased
Hydrogen if it is produced by green energy.
But it’ll still take more energy to produce and store than to charge battery powered cars.
Funny thing is that electric cars are the most polluting ones with the mining for the batteries and the wasted batteries
Even if all the cars in the world go Electric. We reduce only 8% of CO2. We really need to think about the rest 92%. Livestock produces 16%of the greenhouse gases. Cows emit methane which is 23 times more harmful than CO2. Hence, we really should think about reducing our meat consumption.
You should really do some research on that
I like how you elaborated that the energy also has to come from none fossil fuel sources
"And I've been putting out fire with gasoline"
Lyric from "Cat _______ " by david Bowie
People
People. Oh you already said
Only 8 % is from cars, while like 50 % comes from livestock methane emissions. Or from factories. But using cars as scapegoat is easy.........
TED-Ed, where you learn about the past, present, and future
While gas and hydrocarbons are energy dense, a lot of that energy in internal combustion engines is wasted as heat. Wish they would have touched on this point.
3:30 nice frog easter egg
Nice video.
this video was very indecisive.
Love from India
Ted ed is the best fuel for us.
Indeed
Really nice and smooth animation on this one, good one, Kevin Herrmann.
I was expecting better from a TED video than gracefully neglecting the ecological footprint producing batteries with current technology has.
Not to mention recycling them.
Can we use cycle as possible for transportation!
Psssst hey
Uranium fueled cars, Just make a good container to store a few grams in it
Oh wait uranium bad, nevermind then
Oof... that Cybertruck aged like milk. A rare ted-ed L, though the rest of the vid is still a W
Great video!! Why don't you think to make it avable in others languages (like Spanish). Great content but it is difficult for some non native english speakers to take profit of it
Just amazing
What about alcohol based fuels. Koenigsegg uses it a lot in order to save environment
Everyone having his own car is a luxury we can't afford anymore. In cities public transportation needs to be expanded big time (all electric with renewable energy), long journeys can be taken by train and when driverless cars become reliable enough we all share cars that never stand still (for example when we are at work for 8 hours) reducing the numbers needed overall. Centralized fleets of autonomous cars can make traveling in rural areas more energy effective without individual car owning. At least, I believe, in densely populated Europe that could work. CO2 neutral fuel could make it all work with less rare earth consuming lithium ion batteries.
This will soon be the best debatable Ted-Ed yet,but overall eithe fuel is best fuel.
Also nice animation,Ted.
Very very nice educational video
Also guys can u please make such videos by recruiting people from countries to talk about their own respective country's problem. Using your non profit platforms and tools? Can you do ? Coz this would really help countries where i live in or 3rd world countries where audio visual media can play a interest building tool for promoting education in young people. As often the audio visual media available is very limited considering tye the quality and explaination of topics. Plz do this favour for me.

I heard that Russian scientists developed a nuclear battery which lasts for 100 years. That battery can be used for electric cars.
