“…Basically, additive can be classified according to their functions such as antiknocks, antioxidants, antirust agent and etc.[1-3]. Now, the researcher and manufacturer are starting looking to produce the additive with environment friendly and the same time very economically of fuel use of goods and services [4].Ethanol, buthanol and methanol are the types of bio-additive that mixture with petrol in high concentration to decrease the fuel consumption and at the same time can increase the engine performance and less pollution [5][6].In Brazil, ethanol is widely used as additive as an anti-knocking agent and able to enhance the engine performance [7][8]. Ethanol can be produced from sugar cane, corn, wheat and then will undergo the fermentation process.In Malaysia, palm oil was introduced as alternative additive also in purpose to minimize the consumption of fossil fuel rather than just rely on non-biodegradable chemical additive [9].On environmental issue, some additive acting as a rescue by reducing the emission from the engine.…”

Abstract.Bio-additive is biodegradable and produces less air pollution thus significant for replacing the limited fossil fuels and reducing threats to the environment from exhaust emissions and global warming. Bio-additives can remarkably improve the fuel economy for SI engine and some of the bio-additive has the ability to reduce the total CO 2 emission from the internal petrol engine.This review paper focuses to determine a new approach in potential of bio-additives blends operating with bio-petrol on performance and emissions of a spark ignition engine. It is shown that the variant in bio-additives blending ratio and engine operational condition are reduced engine-out emissions and increased efficiency. It seems that the bio-additives can increase the maximum cylinder combustion pressure, improve exhaust emissions and largely reduce the friction coefficient. The review concludes that the additive usage in bio-petrol is inseparable for the better engine performance and emission control and further research is needed to develop bio-petrol specific additives.
