“…Biodiesel is an environmental-friendly fuel that is suitable to replace conventional diesel fuels since it is easily biodegradable in nature, non-toxic, and has low non-edible oil with high FFA content and can be considered as a low-cost feedstock for biodiesel production (Choi et al 2018, Hoang et al 2021. The potential of RBO production in Indonesia is estimated to reach 4.8-6 million tons annually if all rice bran is utilized to produce crude RBO.…”

“…Base-catalyzed alcoholysis is generally regarded as the most advantageous owing to short reaction time and high efficiency. However, alkali-based transesterification required oil with low FFA and water contents (Chen et al 2020, Hoang et al 2021) and therefore, it is unsuitable for RBO with high FFA content. The base catalyst will react with FFA to produce soap that could decrease the yield of alkyl esters substantially and makes the separation and purification steps complicated.…”

“…However, they also have some drawbacks. Acid-catalyzed transesterification has lower reaction rate and difficulty in the recovery of glycerol while lipase-catalyzed transesterification is expensive and has low reaction rate (Choi et al 2018, Hoang et al 2021. The lower reaction rate of acid catalyst, however, could be compensated by employing high pressure, high temperature, and longer reaction time.…”

Rice bran oil (RBO)is claimed to be a potential feedstock for biodiesel production. Non-catalytic in-situ biodiesel production from a low-cost feedstock (rice bran) using subcritical ethanol-water mixture was investigated in this study. The influence of four independent variables, i.e., addition of co-solvent, ethanol concentration, temperature, and time of reactions, on the yield of biodiesel was examined. The results showed that the most effective co-solvent wasethyl acetate and the optimum ethanol concentration, temperature and reaction time were 80% v/v, 200 oC and 3 hours, respectively. The maximum yield of biodiesel was found to be around 80%. The optimization of operating conditions was carried out by response surface methodology (RSM) with historical data design (HDD). The statistical method also suggested similar optimum operating conditions, i.e., 78.44% (v/v) ethanol concentration, 200 oC, and 3.2 hours reaction time with ethyl acetate as a co-solvent. The predicted maximum biodiesel yield was also slightly lower, i.e., 76.98%. Therefore, this study suggests that biodiesel production from rice bran through a non-catalytic in-situ process using a subcritical ethanol-water mixture with ethyl acetate as a co-solvent is very feasible since the yield can reach 80%. The study also found that RSM with HDD can predict the optimum operating conditions with a good accuracy.

“…After a thorough research on the alternative fuels, it is concluded that plant oils are the hopeful source of alternative fuels for the IC engines. (Hoang et al, 2021;Singh et al, 2020). They have specific advantages like extra oxygen content in their molecular structure, higher cetane number and higher calorific value etc., which reflects them as an alternative fuel for CI engines.…”

Waste cooking oil (WCO) biodiesel is becoming promising fuel for compression ignition (CI) engines. Due to the poor thermal efficiency, engine modifications and fuel modifications have been adopted over the years to enhance the performance. In the current study, performance from the biodiesel engine at different injection timing has been studied using waste cooking oil biodiesel mixed with cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) nanoparticles as additives. Experiments are conducted at normal injection timing (27 °bTDC), advanced (30 °bTDC) and retarded injection timing (24 °bTDC) using B20 fuel blended with 80 ppm of nanoparticles. Studies indicated that advancing the injection timing, results in higher brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and reduced brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) for B20 fuel with nanoparticles as compared to fuel without the use of nanoparticles. Smoke, CO and HC emissions reduced on progressing the injection timings, whereas delaying injection timing shows decreased NOx emissions. By advancing the injection timing and adding CeO 2 nanoparticles to the blend, BTE is increased by 10.9% and BSFC reduced by 11.1% as compared to the neat B20 biodiesel operation. HC and smoke emissions are 35.4% and 14.2%, respectively, reduced for advancing the injection timing with the adding cerium oxide nano particles to the fuel as compared with clean WCO ester with the absence of nanoparticles. Advancing fuel injection timing has no positive influence on the reduction of NOx.

“…Although clean energy offers many opportunities to mitigate global climate change (Xuan and Viet, 2021), it also faces several technological and policy challenges (Thomas et al, 2021). Indeed, a recent research trend is to reduce the use of traditional fossil fuels by using solutions using alternative and renewable fuels such as biofuels (Tabatabaei et al, 2021) (Nayak et al, 2017) and hydrogen (Murugesan et al, 2021). Moreover, the process of adapting the decarbonization strategy (Dong et al, 2021) has promoted new technologies in biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass sources (Chin Kui et al, 2021).…”

Today, most of the essential energy needs of humans and production are met by fossil fuels that are expected to be exhausted in the next century. Furthermore, fossil fuels are not renewable and sensitive to the environment. In particular, there is growing concerned about the negative impact of internal combustion engine emissions on climate change and global environmental pollution. Fuel and alcohol-based additives are being considered as good candidates for sustainable alternative fuels used on compression ignition engines. In this review, the different key production pathways and properties of each of the five alcohol additive candidates were discussed. Besides, their effects on the emission characteristics of diesel engines when alcohol additives are added to diesel fuel are also carefully considered. Five candidates including methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and pentanol have been shown to control pollutants from combustion engines while using alcohol-based additives. This is of great significance in the strategy of coping with the threats of pollution and climate change caused by the operation of transport vehicles
