A Review of Biodiesel Appication on Marine Engine

摘要

The classification and fuel properties were stated for the alternative fuels applied on the internal combustion(I.C.) engines. The studies concerning biodiesel as fuel operating on marine engine were presented in this paper. Major obstacles in biodiesel application such as biodiesel compatibility, feedstock, production cost, supply chain and nitrogen oxide emission from engines were investigated based on experimental research and practical applications onboard ship and the feasible strategy were explored.
