- Summary:
- The use of biofuel is essential for the reduction of greenhousegas emission. This paper highlights the use of biodiesel as a meansof reducing greenhouse gas emission from the diesel engine ofheavy-duty vehicles. Biodiesel is fatty acid methyl ester (FAME)obtained through ester exchange reaction by adding methanol to oil,such as rapeseed oil, soybean oil, palm oil, et cetera The CO₂ emissionfrom combustion of biodiesel is defined to be equivalent to the CO₂volume absorbed by its raw materials or plants in their course ofgrowth. On the other hand, however, biodiesel is known to increasethe NOx emission when compared with operating with conventionaldiesel fuel, then suppressing this increase is regarded as acritical issue.This study is intended to identify the fuel properties ofbiodiesel free from increase in the NOx emission. For this purpose,multiple kinds of biodiesel differing in fuel properties were usedwith the single-cylinder diesel engine, so that the effects of thedifference in fuel properties on combustion and exhaust gascharacteristics were clarified
