A REVIEW ON PRODUCTION AND APPLICATION OF BIOGAS AS A FUEL FOR DIESEL ENGINE

Abstract

Biogas is derived from digestion of organic matters, is considered as good alternative source form ending / replacement of diesel fuels, because of its good mixing property with air. The gas production can be done by anaerobic digestion of various organic matters in the absence of oxygen, which offers low cost and less emission than petroleum fuels. This study reviews that production of biogas and up gradation through purification, storage method and its application which was earlier concluded by various researchers. This literature specifically considered for biogas in diesel engine and engine modification, its emission characteristics.
