Several alternative fuels like hydrogen, CNG, LNG, producer gas,
biogas, alcohols, vegetable oils etc. are being explored around the
globe with a view to supplement fuels and reduce environmental
pollution. The alcohol fuels could not be exploited on a large
scale because the petroleum fuels were abundant, cheap and easy to
produce. Several vegetable oils are being produced in the country.
Among vegetable oils rice bran oil can be used as CI engine fuel.
Rice bran oil and its ester have been used satisfactorily for
partial replacement of the diesel fuel. Use of vegetable oil and
ethanol blend gave satisfactory results. But ester of vegetable oil
and ethanol has never been used before as fuel in CI engines. The
concept of employing alcohol especially ethanol with ester of
vegetable oils as a fuel in engines is totally new and
revolutionary. This study helped to assess the feasibility of using
blend of rice bran oil methyl ester and ethanol as fuel in a diesel
engine.
