Abstract
The escalating concerns over greenhouse gas emissions coupled with energy security challenges have intensified the search for alternatives to conventional petroleum-based transportation fuels. Fuel type is a critical factor influencing combustion behavior, engine performance, and exhaust gas emissions. Pentanol emerges as a promising next-generation fuel candidate, though its current production relies heavily on petrochemical materials. Market volatility and diminishing oil reserves have accelerated research efforts toward developing sustainable production methods and scaling up renewable pentanol synthesis. This review covers pentanol from multiple perspectives including raw materials, manufacturing techniques, supply and demand dynamics, alternative fuel applications as a diesel engine fuel. It focuses on providing a comprehensive analysis of the performance metrics, emission profiles, and combustion characteristics of pentanol and its blends in diesel engines. Through detailed assessment of existing research, this study identifies with key findings and proposes future directions. It serves as an essential reference for researchers exploring pentanol as an alternative fuel source, providing them with comprehensive and up-to-date information on this promising energy carrier in compression ignition engines.
期刊介绍：
Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.
Key areas covered by the journal:
• Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
• Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal.
• Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
• Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
• Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
