Well, we&#8217;re now getting a little bit closer to that being a reality&#8230; sort of. While practical flying cars, time travel and cold fusion are still a ways off, the ability to power your car with garbage isn&#8217;t. Canadian biofuels firm Enerkem is currently working with the city of Edmonton, Alberta, to convert that city&#8217;s municipal waste into ethanol. This will lower the city&#8217;s greenhouse gas output, keep much of its waste out of the landfill, and produce a &#8220;clean&#8221; fuel Doc Brown would be proud of.<br \/>\n..<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/biofuel\/\" rel=\"tag\">Biofuel<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/carbon\/\" rel=\"tag\">Carbon<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/energy\/\" rel=\"tag\">Energy<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/ethanol\/\" rel=\"tag\">Ethanol<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/fuel\/\" rel=\"tag\">Fuel<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/power\/\" rel=\"tag\">Power<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/recycling\/\" rel=\"tag\">Recycling<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/waste\/\" rel=\"tag\">Waste<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Related Articles:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/biofuel-from-trash-reduces-global-emissions\/12982\/\">Trashing existing fuel sources could cut global emissions by 80%<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/fuel-from-orange-peels-and-newspaper\/14253\/\">Cleaner, cheaper fuel from orange peels and newspaper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/orange-peel-ethanol-biogas-recycling\/13521\/\">Four ways to turn an orange peel green<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/research-um-celluosic-biofuel\/8972\/\">New research promises boost to biofuel production<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/waste2tricity-convert-waste-electricity\/11028\/\">Waste2tricity &#8211; turning garbage into electricity<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/electric-garbage-truck-is-powered-by-garbage\/10915\/\">Electric garbage truck is powered by garbage<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/mhnANdKdxoPlW03xi1MNz7qBNyM\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/mhnANdKdxoPlW03xi1MNz7qBNyM\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/mhnANdKdxoPlW03xi1MNz7qBNyM\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/mhnANdKdxoPlW03xi1MNz7qBNyM\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=442bSZ3kcCQ:t-lDNJNiHQo:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=442bSZ3kcCQ:t-lDNJNiHQo:H0mrP-F8Qgo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=H0mrP-F8Qgo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=442bSZ3kcCQ:t-lDNJNiHQo:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?i=442bSZ3kcCQ:t-lDNJNiHQo:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=442bSZ3kcCQ:t-lDNJNiHQo:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?i=442bSZ3kcCQ:t-lDNJNiHQo:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=442bSZ3kcCQ:t-lDNJNiHQo:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine\/~4\/442bSZ3kcCQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re a fan of the original Back to the Future movie, then you probably liked the scene at the end where Doc Brown used some random household waste to fuel his time-traveling deLorean.
