A range of low carbon vehicle fuels are being developed and manufactured in the region, which also include bio-ethanol, bio-methane, bio-diesel and hydrogen.
Since the Camden Sustainability Task Force was set up in 2006 is has: * Recommended cutting the amount of meat and dairy products served in the council's canteens, schools and care homes, * Set up a filling station to power cars on bio-methane (a gas produced from food and garden waste), * Pledged to have a zero carbon home in every ward so neighbours can see new technology and get inspiration.
