Biodiesel: an Alternative to Conventional Fuel

Biodiesel as an Alternative Fuel for Diesel Engines

There is growing interest in biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester or FAME) because of the similarity in its properties when compared to those of diesel fuels. Diesel engines operated on biodiesel have lower emissions of carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, particulate matter, and air toxics than when operated on petroleum-based diesel fuel. Production of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from rap...

Eucalyptus Biodiesel as an Alternative to Diesel Fuel: Preparation and Tests on DI Diesel Engine

Nowadays, the increasing oil consumption throughout the world induces crucial economical, security, and environmental problems. As a result, intensive researches are undertaken to find appropriate substitution to fossil fuels. In view of the large amount of eucalyptus trees present in arid areas, we focus in this study on the investigation of using eucalyptus biodiesel as fuel in diesel engine....

Indian Energy Crises and Biodiesel as Renewable Alternative Fuel

-In this research paper we found that in order to meet the growing energy needs as a consequence of spiraling demand and diminishing supply, in today’s world renewable energy and biomass sources mostly bio-fuels are receiving more attention. The demand for energy has been phenomenon due to the rapid development of certain growing economies, especially in developing countries. Also because of th...
