Abstract

Clean air, renewable energy, climate change, safe environments, and the opportunity to live in a healthy community are just a few of the many issues that fall under the umbrella of environmental sustainability. The creation of bioenergy and biomaterials has the potential to retain the energy-environment relationship while simultaneously fostering cleaner, lower-carbon settings. Scientists are investigating renewable energy sources like ethanol to enhance sustainability and the planet›s health. Fuel ethanol is a feasible alternative to gasoline since it has a lower carbon footprint and a higher energy density. This research summarizes ethanol›s potential as a bio-sustainable fuel option for portable generators in India. Bio-ethanol testing was done on a portable generator with an ethanol-gasoline blend, and the findings are presented in this study. Compared to using standard gasoline, the results show 9% to 25% increased thermal efficiency and 6% to 28% decreased fuel usage. The results showed a decrease of 6%–23% in carbon monoxide and 3%–11% in unburned hydrocarbon emissions.

生物乙醇燃料改进便携式发电机性能及其对生物可持续性的影响

清洁的空气、可再生能源、气候变化、安全的环境，以及生活在健康社区的机会，这些只是环境可持续性所涉及的众多问题中的一小部分。生物能源和生物材料的创造有可能保持能源与环境的关系，同时促进更清洁、更低碳的环境。科学家们正在研究像乙醇这样的可再生能源，以提高可持续性和地球的健康。燃料乙醇是一种可行的汽油替代品，因为它具有更低的碳足迹和更高的能量密度。这项研究总结了乙醇作为印度便携式发电机的生物可持续燃料选择的潜力。生物乙醇测试是在使用乙醇-汽油混合物的便携式发电机上进行的，研究结果发表在本研究中。与使用标准汽油相比，结果显示热效率提高了9%至25%，燃料使用量减少了6%至28%。结果表明，一氧化碳排放量减少6%-23%，未燃烧碳氢化合物排放量减少3%-11%。
