Will Blue Gas Kill Tesla? The new emission-free liquid hydrocarbon can power a 300-mile journey with a full tank compared to Elon Musk’s mid-owned electric cars that do 250 miles on a single battery charge
- Blue gas is starting to make waves in the industry and could replace Tesla
- It is an emission-free liquid hydrocarbon fuel that provides 300 miles in a full tank
- The fuel is made up of carbon monoxide and oxygen, but is still in its early stages
Tesla is about to become a powerhouse in the auto industry as the world is abandoning gas-powered electric vehicles, but a new technology could bring down the company that owns Elon Musk.
Called blue gas, it is a liquid hydrocarbon fuel consisting of carbon monoxide and oxygen that can be used in vehicles built after 2002, and is emission-free.
It also propels vehicles 300 miles with a full tank, while Tesla’s power system provides up to 250 miles with a full, average battery.
Blue gas doesn’t involve lithium, or batteries, or rare earths, it takes less to power and lasts longer than electric vehicles, making it a potential “Tesla killer”.

Blue gas is a liquid hydrocarbon fuel consisting of carbon monoxide and oxygen that can be used in vehicles built after 2002 and does not emit 100%
Parts of the United States and the world plan to eliminate gas-powered vehicles as early as 2023 in an attempt to reduce emissions and combat climate change.
The measure is not only a boost for the environment, but it is a good sign for electric car manufacturers like Tesla.
However, Blue Gas is beginning to advance in the industry and could change the future of vehicles.
The innovation is different from normal hydrogen in that it is produced through a carbon-neutral process that uses natural gas along with carbon capture and storage.
Fuel is still in its infancy and companies are learning to get ahead of it the way their customers will want to buy. Along with the early stages, hydrogen fuel stations are far from widely available
Instead of releasing polluting gases like gas vehicles, those that run on blue gas emit water and heat, SpaceCoastDaily reports.
Although Tesla is considered environmentally friendly, the company uses lithium in the battery.
The extraction process requires 500,000 liters of water per ton of lithium, harms the soil and causes air pollution.
And once a lithium battery dies, it is discarded.
However, the Tesla website states, “None of our waste lithium-ion batteries are filled and 100% recycled.”
The new fuel also provides more miles in a full tank, about 50 miles more.
According to Solar Reviews: “Like a gasoline engine, the Tesla adjusts the available mile range up or down based on current driving conditions.
“With a full load, you can be said to have 250 miles to go, but it could be a little less if you always step on the gas pedal and drive aggressively.”
Blue gas seems like the source of fuel the world was waiting for, but the problem with innovation is that we will have to wait for it.

Until Blue Gas becomes better known, it looks like the world will continue its shift towards electric vehicles.
Recently, Ford made an announcement that it will only sell electric vehicles in Europe from 2030 and that Jaguar will follow suit with the launch of the switch in 2025.
And General Motors makes the change in 2035.
However, U.S. states are also making the switch, with California and Massachusetts at the helm of the package: a ban on new sales of gasoline and diesel vehicles begins in 2035.
