Abstract

Transportation and energy sector depend highly on conventional fossil fuels. Biodiesel has been very attractive fuel nowadays since fossil fuels faced with extinction dangerous. It has a huge potential as an alternative energy source to fulfill the energy requirement of the world with parallel to rise in population and growing industrialization. Renewable, sustainable, environment friendly and biodegradable nature are the featured properties of biodiesel. Similar physicochemical properties of biodiesel with diesel fuel allow to be used with little or no engine modification in diesel engines. There are lots of raw materials from vegetable oils to animal fats for their production. Although it has lower energy content compared to diesel fuel which cause to deterioration on engine performance as reduced torque and increased fuel consumption, biodiesel is very effective environmentally. It causes to decrease on emissions such as unburned hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and particulate matter. The fundamental objective of this paper is to provide a literature survey related with biodiesel utilization in internal combustion engines.
