The number of possible alternative fuels and the sources writing about them seem endless, which means the article is not exhaustive and can still contain some errors. That is why author Willem de Jong would like to invite the readers to comment on this article or add to it. An additional article would also be very much appreciated. To do so, please send an e-mail to Antoon Oosting, editor in chief.
