Research Abstract & Technology Focus

Diesel engines have evolved significantly over the last century while maintaining core qualities such as reliability, durability, and fuel economy. Currently, the viability of their continued use is under discussion, mainly due to the environmental impact of polluting emissions from conventional fossil fuels. An advantage of these engines is their high fuel flexibility, which includes the capability to operate with pure vegetable oils. Following the established limitations of large-scale conventional biodiesel use, this perspective explores the implementation of straight vegetable oils (SVOs) blended with low-viscosity, low-octane (LVLC) oxygenated solvents to address climate targets such as the “Fit for 55” agenda. The discussion examines the potential of these advanced biofuels to contribute to the 2050 carbon neutrality goals while addressing the technical and economic requirements of the transport sector.
