Due to the continuous increase in prices of conventional fuels, the production of biofuels on an industrial, as well as small scale, nowadays is becoming more economically efficient. However, the usage of biofuels in its pure form is a problem when one have to supply them with modern injection systems. Due to the difference in parameters of biofuels in comparison with conventional fuels, the attempt to develop a mixture of optimal parameters for use in diesel engines, equipped with modern injection system, was made. Fuels derived from substrates which are produced independently of food production and which can energize CI engines are occupying now stronger market positions. Easier access to know-how and an uncomplicated production process result in technological development, not only in mass-scale plants but also in smaller devices which meet the needs of individual users or in which residues of other processes are neutralized or reused13 samples were tested, mixed of diesel, FAEE and ethyl alcohol. The mixtures were prepared and tested in The Department of Mechatronics in University of Warmia and Mazury for the most important parameters in the evaluation of possibility of usage to power modern compression ignition engines.

Reduction of toxic compound emissions to the atmosphere is currently the main operating criterion for combustion engines. One possible method for lowering the emissions by combustion engines involves using biogas as an alternative fuel. Biogas can be obtained from different raw materials using different technologies. Therefore, the content of methane, the main combustible biogas component, varies widely. Biogas can be used as fuel directly for feeding spark-ignition engines. Biogas use is more difficult for compression-ignition engines because of the quite high methane auto-ignition temperature. Therefore, the use of biogas as fuel for compression-ignition engines requires the injection of a small liquid fuel charge into the combustion chamber, whose aim is to cause the ignition of the produced air/biogas mixture. This paper presents the preliminary results of a study on toxic compound emissions by a dual-fuel compression ignition engine with the main fuel charge fed as biogas.

Electrical energy production from renewable energy sources is currently one of the key directions of conducted research. This paper describes a developed laboratory control system for the operation of a dual-fuel compression ignition engine in which the main fuel charge is fed in the form of biogas with variable composition, it also describes a system enabling the measurement of waste heat from this engine.
