Biofuels have grabbed the attention of engine researchers ever since the oil-crisis and
escalating costs of petro-chemicals cropped up in the׳ 70s. Ethanol and methanol were the …

Biobutanol has demonstrated to be a superior alternative biofuel in internal combustion
engine (ICEs). Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation engineering is a typical …

Alternative transportation fuels, preferably from renewable sources, include alcohols with up
to five or even more carbon atoms. They are considered promising because they can be …

Depletion of fossil fuel resources and stringent emission mandates has spurred the search
for improved diesel engines performance and cleaner combustion. One of the best …

As there were limited efforts towards the substitution of diesel fuel with higher alcohols to
operate diesel engine, the current work aims to evaluate diesel engine performance at wide …

Ever since the research community highlighted the emission and sustainability aspects of
pure diesel in the transportation sector, then began the search of next prospective fuel …

Environmental deterioration, global climate change, and consequent increases in pollution-
related health problems among populations have been attributed to growing consumption of …

Sustainably produced biofuels, especially when they are derived from lignocellulosic
biomass, are being discussed intensively for future ground transportation. Traditionally …

Butanol is a very competitive renewable biofuel for use in internal combustion engines given
its many advantages. In this review, the properties of butanol are compared with the …

This article brings a comprehensive literature review with the objective of presenting
butanol, its characteristics and properties. The focus of this work is to gain a better …
