Various researches are ongoing to find alternate fuels petroleum products. Due to the higher heating value, waste plastics are one of the most promising sources for alternate fuel production. The properties of the oil derived from waste plastics have properties similar to that of diesel. Studies were conducted on various edible and non-edible oils and its blends to find the combustion, performance and emission characteristics of compression ignition (CI) engines.
