Abstract: The use of alternative fuels, as biodiesel and ethanol, for light duty CI engines to approach the target of ultra low NOx and PM emissions without fuel economy penalty has been widely investigated. Recently, it is growing the interest in the butanol as a viable alternative either single or blended with conventional based fuels both to cut the demand for fossil fuel and to reduce emissions of particulate matter without significantly increasing in NOx.
