In the case of spark ignition engines, the best options for fuels include highly reformulated gasoline with virtually no sulfur alcohols derived from biomass natural gas or as the infrastructure develops, hydrogen.

In the process of electrifying the automobile, the hydrogen FCV has no need for the internal combustion engine (ICE) or the oil it burns. Since their inventions in the late 1800s, spark ignition ICEs used to burn gasoline and compression ignition ICEs used to burn diesel have powered virtually all the billion plus motor vehicles built to date. ICEs are installed in virtually all the 50 million cars, trucks, and buses built annually around the world today.
