Alcohols as Fuel in Diesel Engines and Reduction of Emissions

All over the world, the use of petroleum products has increased tremendously and the diesel vehicle population is growing at an alarming rate. The fossil reserves are fast depleting and whose abundance may come for another 30to 40 years. The emission caused by these fossils combustion in IC engines has led to air pollution, greenhouse effect and ozone layer thinning. The cost of fossil fuels is increasing day-by-day. The present research project/work has lot of national importance from the point of view of India. India is a fast developing country in the world. Especially in India, the explosion of vehicle population is more and more along with population growth. India has less fossil fuel reserves and to meet this fuel demand, India imports crude petroleum oils from other countries. For importing crude petroleum, oil from other countries India spends huge amount of foreign exchange. Even with this import of fossil crude oil could not able to meet the demand of fossil fuels.
