Abstract

After the oil price rise in 1973, and increased global pollution; individual, social and national life and economy were largely affected by the increasing cost of energy. Rapidly increasing prices of petroleum, its crisis, and uncertainties regarding the availability of petroleum have serious effect on the development of economy all over the world. The fuel trends for transportation vehicles have been affected greatly by both availability of fuel and environmental factors. To address these energy and environmental issues, it is essential to find some potential alternative to fossil fuel. Biofuels derived from biological materials; basically, renewable sources have emerged as potential alternative to fossil fuel. Turpentine oil is one of the vital biofuels and biodegradable fuel source which has the potential to replace partially the diesel fuel. Commencing from the biofuel generations, the current paper discusses about the production methods of turpentine oil, its important physicochemical properties and application as diesel engine fuel.
