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/dm3) | (i) Increased compression ratio (ii) Decreased burn time (iii) Increased power |
