Synthesis of elemental hydrogen and carbon to hydrocarbon fuels suited to locomotive diesel engines is technically feasibile but energetically unattractive. More promising are long-term substitute fuels which may be derived from plentiful, or preferably replenishable, sources, and which could act also as ectenders to conventional fuels in the short term. The availabilities and properties of a range of substitute fuels are examined, together with their published performance data in relation to the method of introduction ot the engine combustion chamber. Overall, the alcohols, vegeatable oils and, to some extent, slurry fuels are rated as viable, whereas the liquefied gases and nitrogen compounds are rejected.
