Abstract Global warming, climate change, crisis about the energy price, and supply are the main issues in the world and the petroleum-based energy supplement is the main responsible for these problems. More specially, environmental concerns peaked after the critical carbon dioxide level exceeded. Increasing the percentage of clean and renewable energy sources while compensating energy demand became mandatory than ever before. At that point, alcohols are attractive alternative fuels to gasoline and diesel, especially in terms of harmful exhaust emissions. The effects of the typical alcohols such as ethanol methanol, butanol etc., were examined in detail up to date. Fusel oil is a higher alcohol obtained during the fermentation process as a byproduct, and its usage in internal combustion engines took attention during the last decade. In this study, a comprehensive review was conducted about the potential usage of the fusel oil in internal combustion engines as a renewable and clean energy source. The potential production of the fusel oil and its properties as a fuel were discussed. The engine performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of the fusel oil on spark ignition, compression ignition, and homogeneous charge compression ignition engines were also examined in detail. The findings indicated that the performance characteristics of fusel oil are similar o ethanol, which may increase the application area of it.

杂醇油高级醇作为内燃机可再生燃料的综述：应用、挑战和全球潜力

摘要 全球变暖、气候变化、能源价格危机和供应危机是当今世界面临的主要问题，而以石油为基础的能源补充是造成这些问题的主要原因。更具体地说，环境问题在超过临界二氧化碳水平后达到顶峰。在补偿能源需求的同时，增加清洁和可再生能源的比例比以往任何时候都更加重要。在这一点上，醇类是汽油和柴油的有吸引力的替代燃料，尤其是在有害废气排放方面。迄今为止，已详细研究了典型醇类（例如乙醇、甲醇、丁醇等）的影响。杂醇油是发酵过程中作为副产品获得的高级酒精，在过去十年中，它在内燃机中的使用受到关注。在这项研究中，对杂醇油在内燃机中作为可再生清洁能源的潜在用途进行了全面审查。讨论了杂醇油的潜在生产及其作为燃料的特性。还详细检查了杂醇油在火花点火、压燃和均质充量压燃发动机上的发动机性能、燃烧和排放特性。研究结果表明杂醇油的性能特征与乙醇相似，这可能会增加其应用领域。杂醇油在火花点火、压燃和均质充量压燃发动机上的排放特性也进行了详细检查。研究结果表明杂醇油的性能特征与乙醇相似，这可能会增加其应用领域。杂醇油在火花点火、压燃和均质充量压燃发动机上的排放特性也进行了详细检查。研究结果表明杂醇油的性能特征与乙醇相似，这可能会增加其应用领域。
