Publication date: Available online 13 January 2020Source: Materials Today: ProceedingsAuthor(s): Ashish Dewangan, Ashis Mallick, Ashok Kumar Yadav, Rajeev KumarAbstractIn transportation sector the most consumption fuel is Diesel. Combustion of diesel fuel in engine causes serious air pollution which includes carbon dioxide (CO2), unburned hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOx) and some particulate matters discharged from the combustion chamber. This emission causes health issues to the human and adversely affects the ecosystem. Several alternative fuels such as dimethyl ether, alcohol, hydrogen and biodiesel fuels have been good alternative. Among these, biodiesel have proved to be the best alternative fuel to pure diesel because it is renewable, sulphur free, oxygenated and biodegradable. It has the potential to reduce the engine emissions and maintain better air quality. In present paper effect of biofuel on engine emission has been discussed.
