Can a 2000 Buick Century run on any kind of alternative fuel?

I've been researching some on alternative fuels lately, namely E85 and CNG. And so far, it doesn't look like our 2000 Buick Century will run on any of them. Is this true? And where can I find concrete documentation if it will run on one? Also, any idea

@00 Buicks have a great gas engine in them. They are workhorses that mechanics love to get their hands on for other projects. You could do a conversion to propane but that's about your only option.
