Abstract

In this study, the effect of using two innovative biodiesels - derived respectively from coffee grounds and Cynara cardunculus - in blend with neat diesel fuel, on combustion and emissions in a compression ignition engine has been investigated. During tests, load and exhaust gas recirculation were varied and results compared with those obtained with neat diesel fuel and its blends with Brassica carinata or waste cooking oil derived biodiesels. Results show a reduction or a comparable NOx and CO emission levels using Cynara cardunculus and coffee ground compared to the other fuels tested, while PM and THC emissions are penalized. Fuel consumption, as expected, is slightly reduced. EGR reduces NOx levels, while CO, THC and PM are generally penalized.
