Biofuel /ˈbaɪəʊfjuːəl/
Ex: Others believe that biofuels are the future.
Carbon /ˈkɑːbən/

Crisis /ˈkraɪsɪs/
Ex: The business is still in crisis but it has survived the worst of the recession.
Electriccity /ɪˌlekˈtrɪsəti/
Ex: Cars that run on electricity and petrol appeared in 1997.
Emissions /iˈmɪʃnz/
Ex: What is the best way to help reduce your CO2 emissions throughout the year?
Exhaust /ɪɡˈzɔːst/
Ex: Our love of the fuel-burning car with its poisonous exhaust fumes has had a devastating effect both on our environment and on our supplies.
Fossil fuel /ˈfɒsl ˈfjuːəl/
