A holistic strategy for generating low-carbon high-octane gasoline biofuel using several renewable and sustainable additives

The development of sustainable and renewable gasoline additives is necessary to provide green engine fuels in response to environmental issues and the energy crisis. From this angle, the current study aims to assess the impact of environmentally friendly and renewable gasoline additives on generating low-carbon high-octane gasoline biofuel using multiple renewable and sustainable additives. Renewable and sustainable gasoline biofuel additives include ethanol, methanol, ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE), isopropanol, and so on, which have exceptional anti-detonation properties and excellent chemical and physical characteristics. Furthermore, the base commercial gasoline components involve straight-run naphtha (SRN), naphtha made from natural gas condensate, heavy hydrocracked naphtha (HHN), gasoline Fisher Tropsch, and so on, which have poor chemical and physical attributes and low octane rating. Physicochemical characteristics and operational properties of various gasoline biofuel components are studied. Research findings indicated that these encouraging constituents have yielded favorable synergistic chemical, physical, mechanical, and environmental properties when combined with low-octane hydrocarbon fractions. Besides, the results reported that by combining with gasoline components to create high-octane gasoline, the amount and quality of low-octane gasoline fractions were optimized. The primary issues that affect the entire planet are the scarcity of water, energy, and the environment. Two of the above energy and environmental issues might be resolved by utilizing these motor gasoline components. Finally, environmental gasoline offers refining firms favorable prospects due to its low overhead, improved product grade, and significant environmental impact.
