The Use of Alternative Fuels and Emission Control Methods for Compression Ignition Engines

Abstract

Diesel engines are widely used and have a lot of benefits, but they also contribute significantly to worldwide environmental pollution problems. Many regulations have recently been passed all over the world to minimize the emissions from diesel engines to protect the environment and people's health. Efforts are being made to reduce fossil fuel consumption and maximize the utilization of environmentally friendly alternative fuels and reduce the emissions from compression ignition engines. In this context, the standard emissions for diesel engines, pollutant emissions from diesel engines, the necessity for alternative fuels, various types of alternative fuels employed, and emission control techniques are all discussed in this chapter.
