Methane is a popular alternative fuel for internal combustion engines due to its availability in many forms such as methane hydrates, natural gas, biogas, compressed natural gas, liquid natural gas, synthetic natural gas, and pipe natural gas. Methane can be effectively used in existing diesel engines in dual-fuel mode with few modifications. Dual-fuel technology helps bridge existing conventional fuel and alternative gaseous fuel-powered conventional engines. The properties of methane, including its higher calorific value, abundant diffusion, and wider flammability limit make it a suitable fuel for improving the performance of compression ignition engine in dual-fuel mode. Methane-diesel dual-fuel engines are an effective technology for reducing vehicle pollution and partially replacing conventional fuels for transport applications. Therefore, a comprehensive review is needed to document the various pathways for the utilization of methane in dual-fuel engines. This study critically compared the combustion, noise, performance, and emission characteristics of various methane-fueled engines to identify the current challenges and future perspectives for the synergistic use of methane to reduce emissions from internal combustion engines.

“…Using the LCA also allows for the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions. Samson-Bręk and Smerkowska [27,93] performed calculations using the BIOGRACE calculator, which is a tool for estimating greenhouse gas emissions caused by the production and use of transport fuels, biofuels and bioliquids, as defined in Directive 2009/28/EC, Annex V, part C (Directive 2009). They compared the environmental impact of energy crops, which are raw materials for the production of second-generation bioethanol, with the cultivation of maize and rye as raw materials for producing first-generation bioethanol.…”

Currently, one of the main directions of agricultural development in Poland is the pursuit of sustainable development, rational management of material resources, and striving for energy self-sufficiency, while maintaining low greenhouse gas emissions. It is an alternative to constantly supported coal solutions. Sustainable development in the sense of processes taking place in enterprises affects many key areas of their activity. One of them is the measurement of efficiency, another is the compatibility with nature and the environment, and the perception of humans and their role. Measures of enterprises’ effectiveness should be considered in relation to the objectives of the enterprise. Biorefineries play a special role in shaping the new energy reality, being a system that connects various devices and biomass conversion processes to produce energy, fuel, and other valuable products. The essence of the functioning of biorefineries is as value chains; that is, a series of interrelated activities of specific importance and market value. The study aims to identify the determinants and efficiency of value chains in agricultural biorefineries according to the concept of sustainable development and the use of biomass resources in biorefining processes. Identifying and analyzing individual stages allows one to demonstrate the effectiveness of the implementation of technology using renewable energy sources, according to the concept of sustainable development and the implementation of the direction of the circular economy.

The research aims to study the effect of the fuel type, plow types, and engine speeds on Tractor Seat Vibrations (TSV), Noise of Agricultural Tractors(NAT), and fuel consumption. The field experiments were conducted on an experimental farm in Al-Hamdaniya, Nineveh province, Iraq. The investigation was factorial, using a Randomized Complete Block Design with Split –Split plot Design. The trial site was divided into 18 treatments with three replications for each treatment; the length of the treatment was 180 meters, with an affixed depth of 25-30 cm. The three types of fuel type were placed in the main plot, the plow types in the secondary split plot, and the speed engine in the Split -Split plot. The results showed significant differences between the fuel, plows, and engine speeds in most studied traits. The triple interaction of the diesel without Additives and disk plow with speed engine 1500 rpm was significantly superior and recorded the lowest in the trait of TSV (2.605 m. s−2) and the characteristic of NAT (89.449 dB) while the highest value of fuel consumption (32.710 L. ha−1). The interaction of the diesel with Mannol super additives, disk plow, and speed 2000 rpm was recorded as the highest value of TSV (6.944 m.s−2). as well as the highest value of NAT (92.166 dB) at the interaction of the diesel without additives, disk plow and speed engine 2000 rpm. The lowest fuel consumption rate (25.307 L. ha−1) with a significant difference at the interaction of the diesel with Mannol super additives, moldboard plow, and speed engine 2000 rpm.
