Bioethanol fuel properties and related advantages as a fuel additive.

Bioethanol fuel property	Advantages	References
High oxygen content; (35% w/w)	(i) Increased combustion efficiency; (ii) Reduced hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions	de Menezes et al. [6]; Demirbas [1]; Sánchez and Cardona [4]
High octane number (107) and high latent heat of vaporization (0.91 MJ/kg)	(i) Prevents premature ignition and cylinder knocking; (ii) Spontaneous ignition in internal combustion engines when bioethanol petrol blends are used	Demirbas [1]; Turner et al. [7]; Walker [8]
Low energy content (21.2 MJ/dm^3)	(i) Increased compression ratio; (ii) Decreased burn time; (iii) Increased power	Demirbas [1]; Jegannathan et al. [2]; Walker [8]
