5.17 – Use of Biofuels in a Range of Engine Configurations

Internal combustion engines running on liquid biofuels, gaseous biofuels, or both can be used in both transport and stationary configurations to reduce reliance on finite fossil fuels and to reduce CO 2 emissions. High standards of emission performance can be sought via various levels of fuel refining or via engine development. This chapter explores a range of possibilities and trade-offs, drawing extensively on the published literature.
