Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2012, vol. 16, issue 3, 1588-1610

Abstract: The ever increasing energy demands coupled with the limited availability of fossil fuels and the detrimental environmental effects resulting from their use, has guided research toward seeking alternative fuels to gradually substitute conventional ones. Among these, biofuels have received increasing attention due to their attractive features of being renewable in nature and reducing the net CO2 emissions. Biofuels have been used in conventional diesel and gasoline engines either as neat fuels or as supplements.
