Abstract

Under the roof of solid industrialization and accelerated intensification of multiple ranges of mobilization, a huge rise in precious fuel consumption and pollution was observed. Based on the recent hardships of fossil fuels, experts are undoubtedly eager in carrying out their research in renewable environment-friendly fuels. There have been many reviews of works considering the parameters and standards of biodiesel, which is only from various vegetable and seed oils. But very little review work was carried out on only plant-based biofuel. Plant-based fuel has a lower viscosity and higher volatility properties. The target of this review was to make a bridge to overcome these research gaps. This review extensively studies the biological background, production outcome, properties, and reliability of plant-based biofuel and also deeply investigates the feasibility of usage in a diesel engine. From deep investigation, it was identified that most of the low viscous fuel had higher brake thermal efficiency (BTE) (2% to 4%) and NOx emission (5% to 10%) than high viscous biodiesel. The formation of hydrocarbon (HC), CO, and smoke emission was similar to high viscous biodiesel. Overall, the low viscous fuel effectively improves the engine behaviors.
