I don’t know about that, but Honda has a hydrogen prototype. I’m pretty certain that other companies do as well, but Honda has had it since 2000 I think.
You can run E85, which is gasoline made up of 85% Ethanol, but your car must be a 2006 model or later, and I think it actually has to specify whether or not you can use that concentration of Ethanol (everything else is 10% minimum, and just about every car out there can handle that just fine the way it is).
There are a lot of Hybrids, and i’m certain more will be coming out, but I’m still kind of skeptical. When the batteries lose their charging ability, they need to be scrapped and replaced…big $$$. Also, it’s pretty new technology, and I’d imagine that your everyday mechanic isn’t capable or certified to work on one, so it requires dealership maintenance, which is typically more expensive by itself, not to mention how much more it would be to work on the Hybrid.
And I think that just about every diesel powered car out there can run on Biodiesel, which can be as simply as garage-refined french fry grease.
