Influence of Alternative Fuels on Exhaust Emissions of IC Engine: A Review

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Renewable Energy Optimization, Planning and Control

Part of the book series: Studies in Infrastructure and Control ((sic))

Abstract

The massive use of automotive has a terrible effect on the environment. The unsafe pollutants as HC, CO, NOx, and CO2 are emitted from the IC engines during incomplete combustion using fossil fuels and caused noxious impacts on the humanitarian as well as environment. Due to the developing significance of future emission restrictions, it is required to adopt the application of alternative fuels for IC engines to minimize the exhaust pollutants and advance the combustion performance. The purpose of this review is to reveal the use of alternative fuels for vehicular engine application for spark ignition and veil the exhaust emissions of SI engines fueled with alcohol (methanol and ethanol), hydrogen, CNG, and LPG. Better physiochemical properties of alternative fuels make it an attractive fuel to minimize exhaust pollutants and reform the performance of SI engines.
