Abstract
Abstract This study provides insight into performance of internal combustion engines while using renewable fuels. Biogas and producer gas mix together with biodiesel was supplied to a spark ignition dual fuel engine and its performance was analysed. The engine was also operated on biodiesel alone in order to draw comparison in the performance on both the single fuel and dual fuel mode. The brake thermal efficiency (BTE) in mixed fuel mode was obtained 61.4% lower in a biodiesel-producer gas mode and 69.13% lower in a biodiesel-biogas-producer gas mode in comparison with diesel mode at 5 kW load. The brake specific energy consumption (BSEC) for biodiesel-biogas-producer gas mode at 6 kW load was higher by 164.80% and 87%, respectively, than for diesel operation. This work was carried out with the objective to explore the potential for utilization of waste agro residues as biofuels for dual fuel engines, used so prevalently in rural areas.

期刊介绍:
Current energy systems need a vast transformation to meet the key demands of the 21st century: reduced environmental impact, economic viability and efficiency. An essential part of this energy revolution is bioenergy.
The movement towards widespread implementation of first generation biofuels is still in its infancy, requiring continued evaluation and improvement to be fully realised. Problems with current bioenergy strategies, for example competition over land use for food crops, do not yet have satisfactory solutions. The second generation of biofuels, based around cellulosic ethanol, are now in development and are opening up new possibilities for future energy generation. Recent advances in genetics have pioneered research into designer fuels and sources such as algae have been revealed as untapped bioenergy resources.
As global energy requirements change and grow, it is crucial that all aspects of the bioenergy production process are streamlined and improved, from the design of more efficient biorefineries to research into biohydrogen as an energy carrier. Current energy infrastructures need to be adapted and changed to fulfil the promises of biomass for power generation.
Biofuels provides a forum for all stakeholders in the bioenergy sector, featuring review articles, original research, commentaries, news, research and development spotlights, interviews with key opinion leaders and much more, with a view to establishing an international community of bioenergy communication.
As biofuel research continues at an unprecedented rate, the development of new feedstocks and improvements in bioenergy production processes provide the key to the transformation of biomass into a global energy resource. With the twin threats of climate change and depleted fossil fuel reserves looming, it is vitally important that research communities are mobilized to fully realize the potential of bioenergy.
