Why is it important?
The ever-increasing global concern towards air pollution and the limited oil reserves are the reasons behind the interest on eco-friendly alternative fuels. Alcohols are considered to be attractive alternate fuels because of their unlimited sources, both natural and manufactured. Ethanol and methanol are the kinds of alcohols which dominate the others.Performance of internal combustion engines can be increased by adding the suitable additives to the fuel with present technology. Today additives are integral part of fuel. Alcohol is a well-known fuel additive with several advantages over gasoline, such as better antiknock characteristics and lesser CO and HC emissions.
