Abstract: Ethanol is one of the most promising renewable fuels for decarbonizing off-road and heavy-duty engine applications due to a well-established industry with high production capacity, existing distribution infrastructure, low carbon intensity and reasonable cost. However, several properties, such as ignitability, energy density and lubricity, are not suitable for mixing-controlled combustion in modern compression-ignition (CI) engines as those used in most off-road and heavy-duty applications, with ignitability being the main technical barrier for ethanol compression-ignition.
