“…The diesel engine is the main culprit of harmful emissions, that is, smoke, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, etc. Biodiesel is a renewable and feasible fuel that can be used to solve the challenges associated with diesel fuel (Janarthanam et al., 2020; Kumar et al., 2021; Raja & Premjeyakumar, 2021; Vaidya et al., 2022).…”

In this work, diesel engine emissions are studied by adding a cetane improver to the engine fuel. Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) additive is used as a cetane improver. A single‐cylinder, four‐stroke diesel engine is used to test the fuels. Three fuels are selected to run the engine, namely, biodiesel derived from neem oil + 1 vol% DMC (BD100 + 1DMC), BD100, and diesel. BD100 + 1DMC fuel emits a reduced amount of carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons compared to diesel under the same operating conditions of engine. The level of nitrogen oxides emission for BD100 + 1DMC is slightly higher compared to diesel and significantly lower compared to BD100.
