Analysis and study of complete and incomplete combustion in a internal combustion engine using different amounts of biogas

Abstract

This article explores the characteristics of biogas, its main composition (methane and carbon dioxide) and its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This study was carried out using various quantities of biogas, to analyze the main pollutants released by the engine at the end of the combustion process, according to the quantities of biogas that enter the engine. The results we obtained when carrying out the theoretical study show us that increasing the amounts of methane favors the behavior of the engine in various conditions, on the contrary, increasing methane and reducing CO2 increases the concentrations of pollutants such as CO, SO2. Biogas has been implemented as an alternative fuel, highlighting its positive impact on energy sustainability and the reduction of operating costs. Finally, we analyze that biogas has great potential to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future if current barriers are overcome.
