The use of alternative fuels contributes to the lowering of the carbon footprint of the internal
combustion engine. Biofuels are the most important kinds of alternative fuels. Currently,
thanks to the new manufacturing processes of biofuels, there is potential to decrease
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, compared to fossil fuels, on a well-to-wheel basis.
Amongst the most prominent alternative fuels to be used in mixtures/blends with fossil fuels
in internal combustion (IC) engines are biodiesel, bioethanol, and biomethanol. With this …
