Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is an excellent oxidant carrier that finds its use in combustion and fuel applications. In the present study, H 2 O 2 (30% assay) is used as an emulsifier in waste cooking oil biodiesel blend (B20) and the emissions and performance in a compression ignition engine are assessed. Along with the neat B20, three blends of B20 with 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% H 2 O 2 concentrations are used. Increasing the concentration of H 2 O 2 beyond 1.5% resulted in vapor lock in the fuel pump leading to a loss in injection pressure. An increase in the exhaust gas temperature was recorded with the increase in H 2 O 2 concentration due to improved fuel properties, like, cetane number, thermal conductivity, and microexplosions of fuel droplets. However, NO x emissions decreased mainly due to the presence of the hydroperoxyl group from H 2 O 2 . Analysis of variance was also carried out to assess the statistical significance of H 2 O 2 on the responses and is seen that the maximum impact of H 2 O 2 was positively influencing brake thermal
