Abstract

The global vehicle population is increasing, resulting in increased fuel demand. Diesel engines are highly efficient, but there are environmental concerns about their emissions. However, diesel engines are the main prime movers for heavy-duty transport globally. Global demand for diesel and jet fuel is expected to increase faster than gasoline, leading to a surplus of fuel components in the gasoline boiling range. Different low-temperature combustion (LTC) technologies such as homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI), premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI), reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI), and gasoline compression ignition (GCI), are being developed to overcome these challenges of environmental pollution and using the surplus fuels available in the refineries. Gasoline compression ignition (GCI) technology has shown promising results in improving engine efficiency and reducing emissions while using low octane gasoline. GCI engines can use low octane, less refined gasoline with higher volatility and higher auto-ignition temperature in an engine with a higher compression ratio, similar to diesel engines, and burn these cheaper fuels very efficiently. Low octane fuels for GCI engines require less processing reducing the cost of fuel and energy consumption and GHG emissions in refining. Overall, Life cycle assessment (LCA) must be explored to understand the effect of low octane fuels used in the GCI engine on the environment. There are significant technical and market barriers, though. This chapter reviews an overall perspective of the LCA of low octane fuels for GCI engines compared to conventional fuels.
