TL;DR: In this paper, 2-butanone and 2-methylfuran were compared against the current benchmark biofuel for spark ignition engines ethanol and conventional RON95 gasoline and the results showed that 2-Butanone showed increased combustion stability at low engine load and cold boundary conditions compared to ethanol and also conventional gasoline as well as highest knock resistance equal to ethanol.

TL;DR: In this article, a literature survey is carried out, focusing on the impact of the cetane number, boiling characteristics, and aromatic and oxygen contents on the diesel combustion process, and a model-based analysis of desired fuel properties was conducted, using a large database with 32 different f...

TL;DR: Increasing carbon dioxide accumulation in earth's atmosphere and the depletion of fossil resources pose huge challenges for our society and, in particular, for all stakeholders in the transportatio... as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of some new biomass-derived fuels as candidates for compression ignition operation was evaluated and fundamental spray characteristics related to fuel vaporization and fuel/air mixing process for 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran, Di-n-butyl ether and 1-octanol has been studied and compared with conventional EN590 Diesel fuel.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a prototype of a trainor-made fuel from biomass (Tailor-Made Fuels from Biomass) at the Cluster of Excellence at RWTH Aache.
