Analysis of syngas produced from glycerol water mixture through aqueous phase reforming process and its influence on compression ignition engine

Abstract

The increasing consumption of energy and pollution are the major newlineproblems of this decade. Around 76% of energy consumed worldwide is newlineproduced from petroleum fuels. The combustion of petroleum fuel is the newlineprincipal cause of many environmental problems such as global warming, newlineacid rain, photochemical smog, etc. Most countries are implementing newlineemission regulations in the industrial sectors and automobiles to reduce the newlinepollution from petroleum fuels. Some of them encourage using alternative newlinerenewable fuels such as biofuel and biodiesel in automobiles and power newlineindustries to reduce pollution and usage of fossil fuels. newlineResearchers worldwide revealed that biodiesel is a better solution newlinefor the partial replacement of diesel/petrol in the engines. Further, many newlinecountries around the world have framed legislation for the compulsory use of newlinebiodiesel blends in CI engines to reduce fossil fuel consumption, net newlinecarbon-di-oxide emission and other emissions from transportation newline
