“…Therefore, this represents the optimal blend to maximize power output. The blending percentage of local ethanol-gasoline increases torque with an open 100% throttle engine (Efemwenkiekie et al, 2019). This result corresponds with the torque parameter, where the varying bioethanol percentages affected the generated power.…”

The transportation sector holds a big share of the emission to the atmosphere. The emission of Green House Gas (GHG) leads to the thinning of the ozone layer. This situation leads to global warming. An international summit in Kyoto 1997 decided to stabilize the Green House Gas (GHG) emission. Therefore, many types of research have been conducted to reduce emissions. Improving engine performance is another method to reduce the amount of gasoline usage. One of the methods is to reduce emissions is by using alternative fuels. hydrogen, alcohol, and biofuel are among the examples. Among the alternatives, alcohol is a very popular alternative used in an internal combustion engine. This paper aims at reviewing the effect of alcohol on the performance and emission of the use of alcohol inside the spark-ignition engine. This review has confirmed that alcohol serves as good alternative fuel, especially if it is mixed at a good ratio with gasoline. With a good blend of alcohol-gasoline, emission can be reduced significantly

“…The effects of C3 and C4 alcohols in gasoline in spark-ignition (SI) engines were investigated by [7] regarding the characteristics of emissions and combustion, concluding that the addition of alcohol potentially reduces soot, unburned hydrocarbons (UHC), and CO emissions while increasing thermal efficiency. When a SI engine was tested at various speeds with gasoline-ethanol blends (0-5% ethanol), better engine performance was obtained with the addition of ethanol [14]. Ethanol-gasoline mixtures were used in the SI engine tested by Iodice et al [15], who obtained lower HC and CO emissions with the addition of ethanol.…”

The growth in the number of vehicles circulating has led to a proportional increase in polluting gas emissions. Bioenergy can be used to help meet these increasing energy demands and mitigate environmental impacts. This work verified the effect of the content of ethanol on the exergy and exergoenvironmental analyses of a spark-ignition engine. Different gasoline–ethanol mixtures were tested along with hydrous ethanol (4.6% water by volume). The thermodynamic data refer to wide-open throttle conditions and variable engine speeds. The life cycle assessment methodology quantified the environmental impacts associated with equipment and fuel using the Eco-indicator 99 method. Pollutants emitted during combustion were measured and included in the environmental assessment (nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and dioxide). Hydrous ethanol at 1500 rpm presented the highest energy efficiency. The effects of the environmental impact rate of pollutant formation and exergy efficiency were significantly higher than the environmental impact rate of fuel. The lowest specific environmental impact of the product (brake power) was 24.39 mPt/MJ, obtained with the fuel blend with 50% ethanol at 2500 rpm. The combined evaluation of the exergoenvironmental factor and the relative difference in environmental impact indicated the optimization priorities and where improvements should be directed.
