Impact of Biofuels on the Oxidation Stability and Combustion Pollutants of Heavy Duty and Jet Fuels
Reducing greenhouse gas and harmful emissions in the transport sector is a crucial issue in the fight against climate change and air pollution. The use of sustainable biofuels remains the solution of choice to reduce the carbon footprint of propulsion systems that are difficult or impossible to electrify, such as those for aviation or road freight transports. The addition of biofuels to conventional fuels strongly affects their oxidation stability, leading to changes in their chemical and physical structures, which in turn affects the combustion engines functioning in terms of efficiency, safety and pollutant emissions. The synergistic effects of the oxidation of liquid fuels (aging), the…
