When used in diesel engines, biodiesel usually exhibits several combustion-related advantages, including reductions in CO, UHC and PM emissions, as well as a net CO 2 reduction. The ability to produce emission and noise decreases were subsequently leveraged to produce BSFC reductions. Tags: Biodiesel Diesel Emissions Engines.

For consideration as a qualifying fuel, the waste-derived biofuel must yield a 50% greenhouse gas reduction threshold required in the Massachusetts law as determined by a preliminary analysis based on both CARB and EPA methodologies. Other forms of renewable biomass—agricultural crop residues, dedicated energy crops, or algae—are excluded.

A team at the University of Birmingham reports that a blend of 33% v/v of butanol in EN228 commercial gasoline containing 5% of ethanol (B33) reduces GDI (gasoline direct injection) engine-out carbonaceous emissions, while maintaining similar levels of NO x emissions when compared to standard gasoline combustion at low and medium engine loads.
