While that is going on Ford and Alternative Fuels are making new advancements in other bio-fuels as well. Ford is trying to focus on bio-eathanol, bio-desel, and natural gas methods. Combining Ford and Alternative Fuels is a chance to keep Ford alive in the competitive car market out there. Ford is trying to get these projects underway in Ireland, the UK, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands. With Ford teetering on the brink of extinction they are trying to remain the pace setting bio-fuel car in Europe.

In Canada Ford will also become the first car company to produce hybrid cars. They are projecting that Canada will be in the hybrid era by 2010. In Chicago Ford is trying to put out as many hybrid cars as taxi’s as possible. This started back in 2007 with the Chicago City Council.

One source of Ford and Alternative Fuels is called liquid petroleum gas or LPG. In Australia there may not be any hope for E85. Since there is no E85 network in Australia it would take a lot of money and several steps for the auto market to be able to switch over to E85. Also it would take a lot of manpower to get the E85 fuel recognized there.
