Abstract
Alcohols produced from organic matter have been actively considered as a solution to energy demand and an attractive alternative to conventional fuel. These fuels are considered to be green, clean, and renewable. Alcohol-based renewable fuels are generally encouraged to be used in spark-ignition engines, and its implementation in diesel engines is overlooked, because of low cetane number and other issues with fuel injection system. This chapter is a review of recent research work available in the literature and explains about alcohol as a fuel and its utilization in diesel engine, causes of emission in diesel engine, and after-treatment devices to reduce this emission. Topics such as material compatibility and economical aspect of alcohol as a fuel in diesel engine are discussed. Toward the end, combustion characteristics with respect to addition of primary alcohol to diesel are also discussed. This study gives insight into commercial aspect of alcohols as engine fuel and encourages adoption in automobiles engines.
