Abstract

Engine research community and automobile manufacturers are making considerable effort to look for the alternative solutions of conventional diesel and gasoline for internal combustion engines (ICEs) and power production. Several developing technologies including electric vehicles (EVs), fuel cells, hydrogen powered engines, and other technologies are being employed as an alternative to ICEs. Studies suggest that the use of alcohol fuel provides substantial advantages over traditional fuels with lower modifications in existing engine technology. Use of alcohol fuel in ICE is possible through various ways, each has its own advantages over the other alternatives. In this book chapter a thorough review has been conducted of the various strategies for utilization of alcohols in ICEs, their effect on combustion characteristics and emissions formations has been presented and discussed.
