Abstract:
As the world’s population goes on increasing and the standard of human living improving day by day, increases the need of energy. The increase in energy consumption particularly in past several decades has raised the fears of exhausting vital natural resources. As India having large number of automobile sector the cost of petroleum fuel goes on increasing. Also in concern of environmental effect due to emission of harmful gases such as CO, CO2, NOx, SOx, lead and other particulates which lead to air pollution and adverse affect on human beings, as vehicles using fossil fuel. My present paper focuses on the use of ethanol as an alternative fuel for internal combustion engine. Using the ethanol as a fuel in IC engines reduces greenhouse effect effectively by reducing CO, CO2, NOx, SOx. Ethanol can be used as a fuel in internal combustion engine in two ways, as a straight fuel and as a blended fuel. For low blends of ethanol there is no need of engine modification. Thus use of ethanol provides great hands in reducing dependent on petroleum fuel.
