In search of alternative fuels for CI engines, many experimental studies have been carried out and posted
in the literature during the last few decades. This paper presents a comprehensive review on the production, performance and emissions from a compression ignition engine using biodiesel as alternate to
fossil based diesel fuel. The properties of biodiesel produced from different sources and their fatty acid
composition have also been described. The experimental set up used by different researchers for the
investigations and their ndings regarding performance and emissions with respect to mineral diesel
have been presented in short for a large number of studies. For better illustration of the facts, results of a
few experimental studies available in the literature have been presented in the form of different graphs
for selective important performance and emission parameters as case studies. The overall impression is
that the performance of the engine slightly deteriorates with the use of biodiesel partially or fully instead
of diesel, but the environmental aspects are signicantly improved.

1. Introduction
The availability of adequate amount of conventional fossil fuel
for internal combustion engines and the associated effects of
global warming and other environmental issues arising due to the
combustion of fossil fuels are the two most threatening problems
of our present day civilization. The rapid industrialization and
urbanization are also making our planet unsafe for us and for the
generations to come. People are now all well aware of the lethal
effects of environmental pollution created by the random use of
fossil fuels. China tops the list of green house gas emitters and
India is not far behind. In fact, India is already the fth largest
greenhouse gas emitter of the world and is expected to become
the third largest GHG emitter by the year 2015. Transport sector
contributes signicant amount of GHG emission [13] particularly
in the developing and developed countries. The maximum amount
of green house gases added to the atmosphere are from electricity
and transportation sectors and the corresponding values are 34%
and 27% [3]. Also the vehicle population throughout the world is
increasing rapidly and in India the growth rate of automotive
industry is one of the largest in the world. It has been anticipated
quite clearly that the problem cannot be solved with the conventional fossil fuels as their reserves are limited and also the
emission norms are expected to be more stringent in future [4].
This situation can be handled by using biofuels as fuels for compression ignition (CI) engines wherever possible.
Another concern is the peak oil theory, which predicts a rising
cost of oil derived fuels caused by severe shortages of oil during an
era of growing energy consumption. According to the peak oil
theory [5], the demand for oil will exceed supply and this gap will
continue to grow, which may cause a growing energy crisis
starting between 2010 and 2020. According to Demirbas [6], a
peak in global oil production may occur between 2015 and 2030.
After that the production process will highly decelerate. India is
the worlds fourth largest petroleum consumer after United States,
China and Japan [7] which makes India dependent upon the oil
exporting countries for meeting its own energy demand.
Diesel engine is the most fuel efcient combustion engine
among the available ones and the transport sector mainly uses
diesel fuel due to its better fuel economy and more effective
power. Several countries such as USA, Germany, France, Italy,
Brazil, and Indonesia are using biodiesel blended with diesel.
Malaysia normally uses palm biodiesel as an alternative to diesel
in their country despite the use of palm oil as edible oil also [8].
The soyabean and the rapeseed biodiesels are generally used in
USA and Europe respectively [9]. In a country like India, biodiesel
also can be used as alternative automotive fuel and also in other
sectors as CI engine fuels. Biodiesel is a fastest growing alternative
fuel. India has huge potential for biodiesel, but it is not yet
explored properly to replace at least some percentage of mineral
diesel with biodiesel. It will be more effective and sustainable, if
biodiesel is produced from non-edible type oil seeds, like karanja
(Pongamia Pinnata) and ratanjyot (Jatropha Curcus) [1013]. The
above oil seeds can be cultivated in the wastelands available in
India. Another advantage of biodiesel is that it can be used in
internal combustion engines in a similar fashion as petro diesel
without any modication of engine geometry.
Rudolf Diesel, the father of diesel engine, demonstrated the
rst use of vegetable oil in compression ignition engine. He used
peanut oil as fuel for his experimental engine. With the availability

method. Deng et al. [35] also stated that microalgae have the
potential to become the viable alternative for production of
biodiesel.
As the end of this section, the ow chart showing different
processes along with their reactants and products for biodiesel
production from vegetable oils has also been shown in Fig. 2 from
the work of Sharma et al. [36]. The ow chart for biodiesel production from microalgae has also been presented in Fig. 3 based on
the work of Naja et al. [37].
2.2. Properties of biodiesel
The performance, combustion and emission characteristics of
any biodiesel fueled engine depend on the thermo-physical
properties of biodiesel. The viscosity, density, cetane number,
caloric value, ash and re points, cloud and pour points are the
major properties of biodiesel which are to be considered. Several
researchers have reported that the properties of biodiesel depend
upon their fatty acid contents and chemical compositions. Therefore, before using the biodiesel in a compression ignition engine it
is mandatory to measure its properties as specied by ASTM
D6751 and EN 14214 standards, which are the most popular and
well known standards for biodiesel. In India, IS 15607 standard is
followed for using biodiesel as fuel in an automotive engine. Different properties of biodiesel produced from various oils and those
of petro-diesel are compiled from the previous works of several
researchers and are presented in Table 2 for comparison.
Generally, the properties of biodiesel are similar to that of
petro-diesel. Among all the parameter, viscosity is the most
important as it is directly linked with the injection system of the

weight [6]; the higher heating values are relatively lower than
petro-diesel [6]. For the above said reason, the lower caloric
value is less than that of diesel [52]. Qi et al. [55] observed that due
to the higher density and lower heating value of biodiesel the
power output and the torque are lower than those of diesel.
Moreover, biodiesel contains very small amount of phosphorous
and sulfur and hence the emission of oxides of sulfur (SOx) is
almost negligible. In addition, the higher ash point (more than
100 C) of biodiesel makes the storage and transportation issues
less important. The properties of biodiesel at low temperatures are
poorer than those of diesel oil. The pour point is generally higher
than that of diesel and this may create some complications for the
operation in cold weather. Biodiesel has good lubricant properties
with respect to diesel oil, in particular, diesel with a very small
amount of sulfur. This is very important to reduce wear in the
engine and the injection system. Table 3 shows average fatty acid
prole for different feedstocks for biodiesel fuel. Although the fatty
acid distributions are not the same in different feedstocks, but a
pattern is noticed among the different feedstocks. These variations
will affect the cetane number of biodiesels produced from various
feedstocks.

The highest brake thermal efciency with neat marotti oil methyl
ester was obtained at 80% load as 28.38%, whereas at the same
loading condition the value with diesel fuel was 31.25%. B20 blend
of marotti oil methyl ester and diesel showed better thermal
efciency compared to other blended fuels. The increase in the
efciency with B20 compared to B10 was attributed to more
complete combustion and the additional lubricity of biodiesel
which reduced the frictional power losses. Further increase of
biodiesel percentage in the blends decreased the effective caloric
value of the fuel and thus the efciency was reduced. In case of
honge oil methyl ester, brake thermal efciency was lower than
that of diesel. At 80% load condition, the authors found the maximum efciency. In case of diesel, it was 31.25%, whereas with
honge oil methyl ester it was 29.51%.
On the contrary, some reverse trends in the variation of brake
thermal efciency were also observed by several researchers. In an
experimental study conducted by Laforgia and Ardito [64] on an
indirect injection diesel engine, it was observed that brake thermal
efciency increased with biodiesel by about 10% over mineral
diesel as fuel. Raheman and Ghadge [65] conducted an experimental study on indirect injection Ricardo E6 diesel engine with
pre-combustion chamber. They found an increase in brake thermal
efciency with the increase in compression ratio because of
improvement of combustion characteristics. They also observed
that the efciency increased when advance ignition was provided.
This was mainly due to more time available for injection and thus
reduction in rapid combustion leading to an undesirable effect
called knocking. However, the effect of increase of compression
ratio and advance injection timing were noted to be more prominent in case of blends having higher percentages of biodiesel
compared to diesel. An experimental work was carried out by
Deore and Jahagirdar [66] on a single cylinder, four stroke, water
cooled diesel engine of small capacity (3.5 kW) using biodiesels
from jatropha and karanja and mineral diesel as fuels. The
experiment was carried out keeping the compression ratio xed at
18. At higher load, it was observed that the brake thermal efciency of the engine using jatropha biodiesel was higher than
using diesel and karanja biodiesel by 9.29% and 2.76% respectively.
Song and Zhang [67] observed slightly higher thermal efciency for soybean oil methyl ester compared to mineral diesel as
fuel. They explained this increase in thermal efciency from the
fact that biodiesel contained small amount of oxygen which acted
as combustion promoter and led towards complete combustion of
biodiesel blended fuels. Ceviz et al. [68] observed that with the use
of hazelnut oil methyl ester as fuel in a four stroke direct injection
diesel engine, the effective efciency increased by about 12% for
B20 compared to mineral diesel. While experimenting on single
cylinder air cooled (using radial fan) diesel engine, Rath et al. [69]

Also, poorer atomization slowed down the fuelair mixture formation rate due to the higher kinematic viscosity of biodiesel.
Agarwal and Dhar [60] used neat karanja oil and preheated
karanja oil for their experimental study. It was reported by them
that higher viscosity of karanja oil caused poorer atomization and
increased the fuel consumption compared to diesel. It was also
reported that the viscosity of the oil reduced due to preheating of
the karanja oil, which resulted better atomization and combustion,
thus the fuel consumption rate was found to be less than that of
normal karanja oil. The increments of fuel consumption rate were
found to be approximately 39% and 17% respectively for nonpreheated straight vegetable oil of karanja and preheated karanja
oil. Song and Zhang [67] experimented on a four cylinder, four
stroke, supercharged, direct injection diesel engine with soybean
oil methyl ester. It was observed that lower caloric value and
higher density of soybean oil methyl ester caused a higher amount
of biodiesel supply (by weight) to the combustion chamber due to
higher discharge of fuel injection pump and resulted in higher
BSFC value than mineral diesel.
McCarthy et al. [82] conducted an experimental study on a
vertical, liquid cooled diesel engine and found an increase in BSFC
of about 7% and 10% compared to that of diesel respectively for the
mixture of animal tallow (80%)-canola oil methyl ester (20%) and
chicken tallow (70%)-waste cooking oil methyl ester (30%). This
was attributed to the lower caloric value or energy content of
biodiesel. Ceviz et al. [68] experimented with hazelnut oil methyl
ester (biodiesel) as CI engine fuel and reported that brake specic
fuel consumption increased for B100 blend approximately by 12%
and decreased for B20 blend by 8.2% compared to diesel. This kind
of behavior was thought to be due to better combustion with B20.
But caloric value of the fuel decreased by a large amount when
B100 was used and this was not compensated even by the
improved combustion of the fuel. Aksoy [83] experimented on a
single cylinder, four stroke, air cooled diesel engine with a precombustion chamber using waste frying oil methyl ester and
soybean oil methyl ester. Due to the lower caloric value of biodiesels produced from raw soybean and waste frying oil the specic fuel consumption increased by an average of 18.5% and 14.2%
respectively compared to mineral diesel.
Rao et al. [61] also found the similar trend with jatropha biodiesel. The increment in BSFC was noted to be marginal in case of
jatropha biodiesel. Ycesu and lkili [84] experimented on a single cylinder, four stroke, direct injection, air cooled Lombardini
engine using cotton seed oil methyl ester and found about 8%
higher fuel consumption of biodiesel compared to diesel. This was
mainly because of the higher mass and lower caloric value of the
ester which resulted in higher volume of fuel accumulation during
combustion of biodiesel than that of diesel. Yadav and Singh [85]
also reported an increment of brake specic fuel consumption
during experimentation on a single cylinder, four stroke diesel
engine with jatropha, karanja and neem biodiesels because of
their lower energy content approximately by 10% than diesel. In
case of a lower amount blend of karanja oil methyl ester (B15 and
B20), a reverse trend was observed by Mahanta et al. [59] during
an experimental study on a water cooled, direct injection, four
stroke diesel engine. It was reported by them that due to 10%
higher oxygen content of biodiesel it exhibited better combustion
characteristics and hence the fuel consumption with B15 and B20
blended fuels was approximately 14% lower at full load condition
compared to diesel.
Deore and Jahagirdar [66] observed that with jatropha biodiesel at compression ratio 18 and lower load, the specic fuel consumption was lower than diesel by 9.61% and at higher load it was
higher than diesel by 3.57%. It was also observed that specic fuel
consumption was lower than diesel by 6% at lower load and higher
than diesel by 5% at higher load corresponding to a compression

and the maximum exhaust temperature with B100 rapeseed biodiesel was found to be approximately 490 C, whereas the corresponding value with diesel fuel was noted to be 475 C running at
a relatively high speed of 2100 rpm. Datta et al. [88] experimented
on a double cylinder, four stroke, diesel engine fueled with jatropha oil methyl ester and its blends with diesel. They observed an
increase in exhaust gas temperature with jatropha oil methyl ester
and its blends due to the higher ame temperature of jatropha
biodiesel compared to that with diesel.
Puhan et al. [75] conducted an experimental study on a four
stroke, compression ignition, constant speed, vertical, water
cooled, direct injection diesel engine using mahua oil methyl ester
as fuel. It was reported by them that exhaust gas temperature of
methyl ester of mahua oil was higher than that of mineral diesel
approximately by 3.7%. They identied the longer duration of after
burning period to be responsible for higher exhaust gas temperature. Behet [86] observed an increment of exhaust gas temperature approximately by 12% compared to that of diesel when
fueled with anchovy sh biodiesel during experimentation on a
single cylinder direct injection diesel engine at a constant speed of
3600 rpm. The possible reason of higher exhaust gas temperature
with anchovy sh biodiesel might be the higher oxygen content of
it, which led to better combustion. This increased combustion
temperature as well as the exhaust temperature. Higher viscosity
and density of biodiesel were also identied by the author as
inuencing parameters for increase of exhaust gas temperature. In
an experimental investigation, Banapurmath et al. [62] observed
that the exhaust gas temperature increased with marotti oil
methyl ester (biodiesel) compared to diesel. They explained the
above fact on the basis of the poor volatility, high viscosity and the
slower combustion of marotti oil methyl ester.
Reverse trend was also observed by Kegl [89] while experimenting
on a four stroke, six cylinder, in line, water cooled bus engine with
rapeseed biodiesel. This type of behavior might be due to the low
heating value of biodiesel as reported in this study. Lin et al. [44]
experimented on a single cylinder, four stroke, water cooled, direct
injection diesel engine with various kinds of biodiesels prepared from
eight different oils namely, soybean, peanut, corn, sunower, rapeseed,
palm, palm kernel and waste fried oil using methanol as alcohol
during transesterication. They observed that the exhaust gas temperatures with those biodiesels were slightly lower than that with
diesel. It was reported by them that the lower energy content of those
biodiesels reduced total heat release during combustion and hence the
exhaust gas temperature reduced. Sureshkumara et al. [90] experimented on a single cylinder, four stroke, water cooled diesel engine at
a constant speed of 1500 rpm with karanja oil methyl ester. They
reported a lower exhaust gas temperature for karanja oil methyl ester
ratio of 16. On the other hand, the increase in BSFC with jatropha
biodiesel was more at compression ratio 14 and it was about 29%
higher than diesel. In case of karanja biodiesel, the specic fuel
consumption was higher than jatropha biodiesel by about 11 to
30% for different compression ratios at low loads. The authors
pointed out that the differences in density and viscosity among
different biodiesel and diesel were responsible for this kind of
behavior.
At the end of this section, it can be said that except a few,
almost all the studies showed an increase of BSFC in the range of
515% for different biodiesels. For further illustration and comparison experimental results from the work of Puhan et al. [75]
and Sharon et al. [27] have been plotted in Fig. 5(a) and
(b) respectively for mahua and used palm oil biodiesels.
It can be seen from both the gures that the specic fuel
consumption rates of both the biodiesels are higher than that of
diesel over the entire load range. The maximum increase in BSFC
noted are not to be 20% and 14.55% with mahua and used palm oil
biodiesel respectively.
3.3. Effect on exhaust gas temperature
Exhaust gas temperature is an indicator of the heat release rate
of the tested fuel during combustion period [86] and its effective
utilization to produce power. It depends on the nature of combustion and the heat loss to the exhaust which again depends on
the fuel consumption rate. The higher fuel consumption rate
results higher amount of heat rejection, which causes higher
exhaust gas temperature [41]. Generally, the fuel consumption
with biodiesel is higher than that with diesel and also the combustion is improved due to the presence of excess oxygen in the
fuel itself. These set the general trend of increased exhaust gas
temperature with biodiesel fuels.
Godiganur et al. [38] experimented on a Cummins made six
cylinder turbocharged diesel engine using diesel, mahua oil
methyl ester and its blends with diesel as fuels. They observed an
increase in exhaust gas temperature with the increase in engine
load. The exhaust gas temperature was found to increase with the
percentage increase of biodiesel in the blended fuel. The mean EGT
of the engine with neat mahua oil methyl ester was noted to be
nearly 12% higher than that with diesel. The trend was due to
more heat loss with biodiesel as explained by Godiganur and coresearchers. Buyukkaya [87] experimentally investigated the
effects of rapeseed biodiesel and its blends with diesel on engine
performance, emission and combustion of a six cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. They reported that with increase in biodiesel share in the blended fuel the exhaust temperature increased

driving cycle test with a maximum speed of 50 km/h and one urban
driving cycle test with a maximum speed of 120 km/h. The sampling time for the emission test was 1200 seconds. They observed a
narrow range of reduction (about 10%) of CO emission with biodiesel as compared to that of diesel. During a comparative study by
Rakopoulos et al. [43] on a four stroke, direct injection (DI), Ricardo/
Cussons Hydra Diesel engine with methyl esters of cottonseed oil,
soybean oil, sunower oil, rapeseed oil and palm oil blended with
diesel (10% and 20% blend), it was observed that CO emission was
slightly reduced with the use of biodiesel blends in comparison to
that of the neat diesel fuel. The maximum reduction was noted with
cotton seed biodiesel and it was approximately 14%.
It was observed by elikten et al. [46] that CO emission reduced
while using rapeseed and soybean oil methyl esters as fuels in a
four cylinder diesel engine. At higher injection pressure of 350 bar,
it was also observed that CO emission decreased by 21% and 28%

biodiesel contains some amount of oxygen within its own structure, it is expected that HC emission will decrease with the use of
biodieseldiesel blended fuels and also with neat biodiesel. It may
also be noted that a few studies reported in the literature show
increase of HC emission to some extent with the use of biodiesel
blended fuels under certain operating conditions. Some of the
important studies reported in the literature regarding HC emissions from biodiesel fueled CI engines are described here along
with the ndings from those experimental investigations.
Godiganur et al. [38] observed a 32% reduction in HC emission
level with blends of methyl ester of mahua oil and diesel with
respect to neat diesel. Nabi et al. [45] reported that PM emission
with cotton seed oil biodiesel was lower than that with diesel fuel.
With B20 blend of cotton seed biodiesel, the PM emission was
reduced by 24%. A narrow range of reduction (about 10%) of HC
emission was observed with canola biodiesel by Zou and Atkinson
[91]. Sahoo et al. [40] mentioned that the excess oxygen helped to
reduce the emissions of HC and PM by improving combustion of
karanja, jatropha and polanga based biodiesel blends. The maximum reductions of HC were reported to be 20.64%, 20.73% and
6.75% with neat karanja, jatropha and polanga biodiesels respectively. The maximum reduction of PM in the exhaust was found to
be in the range of 40% for all the three tested fuels. Kegl [89]
reported that with the use of rapeseed biodiesel, HC emission
reduced by 25% compared to that with mineral diesel when
injection pump timing was retarded. Fontaras et al. [47] observed
that with soyabean biodiesel, HC emission increased (by 31% for
B50 blend and 58% for B100) for New European driving cycle, but
an average decrease of HC by 20% was noted for Artemis driving
cycle. Tsolakis et al. [111] noted that the use of neat rapeseed oil
methyl ester as fuel instead of ultra low sulfur diesel resulted to a
reduction of HC emission by nearly 50% and it increased slightly
when EGR technique was used.
Randazzo and Sodr [92] experimentally investigated the effect
of biodiesel and ethanol addition to diesel on HC and other
emissions. They observed a slight reduction of HC emission with
soybean biodieselmineral diesel blend. However, with the addition of ethanol to the blended fuel, the HC emission was found to
be more. Due to presence of higher amount of organic condensates
and volatile particles, the soot formation and PM emission were
more in case of RME, neat soybean and rapeseed oil as observed by
Soltic et al. [115]. In another experimental study with waste
cooking oil biodiesel by Lin et al. [93], it was observed that the use
of biodiesel instead of ultra low sulfur diesel reduced the PM and
HC emissions. The use of different blends of ultra low sulfur diesel
and waste cooking oil biodiesel as fuels decreased PM emission by
5.298.32% and HC by 10.536.0%. Lin et al. [44] observed that
when fueled with various vegetable oil methyl esters, THC emissions were low in case of VOME due to lower carbon and hydrogen
content compared to petroleum diesel. The maximum and minimum HC reductions of 33.14% and 22.47% were obtained with
PKOME and PNOME respectively.
Puhan and his co-workers [75,95,96] used different kinds of
mahua biodiesel and noted that the emission of HC was too low
for MOME and MOEE compared to diesel. The maximum reductions with methyl ester and ethyl ester of mahua oil were found to
be 60% and 63% respectively. It was mainly due to presence of
oxygen in the fuel, which enhanced the combustion process to
reduce exhaust emissions. Gumus and Kasifoglu [98], Sureshkumara et al. [90] and Devan and Mahalakshmi [116] experimented with biodiesels prepared from apricot kernel seed, karanja
and paradise oil respectively and reductions in HC emission were
observed in all the cases. Gumus and Kasifoglu [98] found HC
reductions of 18.66% with B100 and 2.66% with B5 blend of apricot
seed kernel oil methyl ester compared to neat diesel. Sureshkumara et al. [90] found almost zero HC emission except B20

5. Conclusion
On going through the different studies minutely, conducted by
different researchers on the various aspects of biodiesel as CI engine
fuel, the following conclusions have been drawn. Biodiesel offers wide
range of benets such as renewability, biodegradability, nontoxic
nature, reduction in import oil bills and less pollutant emissions in
general. The properties of biodiesel are dependent upon the fatty acid
structure of the raw feedstocks and to some extent on the production
process. Biodiesel is mainly produced by a chemical reaction called
transesterication using various renewable feedstocks such as vegetable oils (both edible and non-edible), algal oils and animal fats.
Brake thermal efciency with biodiesel is found to be less than
that with diesel by around 2% on an average in most of the
investigations reported in the literature. The brake specic fuel
consumption rate on the other hand increases with biodiesel
approximately by 13%. It has been noted that the exhaust gas
temperature with biodiesel is 10% higher than that with diesel. The
