Optimizing Turbo Diesels for Emissions and Performance with 5% and 20% Biodiesel Blends

Green Car Congress

Prior studies have shown that higher biodiesel fuel consumption and biodiesel-NO x emissions can be mitigated to some extent via modulation of four engine parameters—air/fuel ratio (AFR), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) fraction, injection (rail) pressure, and start of main fuel injection (SOI)—alone or in concert.
