Abstract:

The world is facing a huge problem of high fuel prices, air pollution and a lot of climatic changes. Alternate Fuels play an essential role in the present scenario in Internal Combustion Engines as the mineral fuels are depleting. This paper presents the maneuver and origin of the use of alternative fuels in internal combustion ignition engines. Analysing the literature, this article shows various alternative fuels utilized in India and all over the world. Furthermore, this article describes the research directions for alternative fuels usage in road transport powered by internal combustion engines.

Keywords:

Alternative fuels, bio fuels, diesel engine, eco-fuels
