Summary
Low carbon fuels can be produced with renewable feedstock and energy sources, thus facilitating the transition to cleaner fuels for the transportation sector without the need for a complete overhaul of the infrastructure. In addition, as drop-in fuels, they support the decarbonization of the existing fleet while the transition to newer vehicles is underway and can lower criteria pollutants in older engines thanks to their physical and chemical properties. In this sense, they constitute a valuable topic in the sustainability of internal combustion engines. This work evaluates different low carbon fuels that consist of blends of synthetic and biofuels tested under 5 different operating conditions and evaluated in terms of performance and emissions on a modern 1.6-liter Diesel engine which are then compared to conventional Diesel combustion....
