Such clean fuels would be obtained from renewable sources such as biomass (starches, sugars, oil seeds, wood, natural vegetation and algae) and by reprocessing coal and petroleum using chemical and biological methods. A fully-funded PhD studentship for 3 years is available for suitably qualified UK/EU students.
