TO EXPERIMENTALLY ANALYSE THE IMPACT OF BIOSYNTHETIC FUEL ON PERFORMANCE AND EMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF AN IC ENGINE

Abstract

Conventional fuels such like gasoline and diesel are
used in most car sectors but constant increases in
demand and environmental degradation due to recent
rise in population, urbanization, scientific and
technological advancements. Through use of
renewable energy, such as biofuels and biosynthetic
fuel, seems to be the only solution for humanity's
growth and achievement. For this environmental
degradation, Climate act of UK was passed in 2008.
Later Paris Agreement 2015 on Climate Goals came
into existence. USA clean air agreement also played
its part. With the passage of time demand for energy is
constantly increasing but the resources are getting
limited so a new fuel known as Biofuel is introduced
to the world. They refer to fuels that derive their
energy from biomass i.e. organic materials. This is
considered to be one of the most efficient alternate
energy source in modern times. Biofuels can be
divided into three generations. The first generation,
second generation and third generation. Third
generation biofuels are the advanced ones. The biggest
concern about fuel in the future will be its depletion
and the negative environmental impact of increasing
greenhouse gas emissions. We must identify alternate
routes that are both renewable and capable of
replacing petroleum-based products. These alternative
renewable fuels will reduce the demand for fossil
fuels, which are diminishing at an alarming rate, while
also improving engine emission and performance
aspects. The primary goal of this research project is to
produce new biosynthetic renewable fuels and
evaluate their effects on engine performance and
emissions.
