With the slow but ineluctable depletion of fossil fuels, several avenues are currently being explored in order to define the strategic boundaries for a clean and sustainable energetic future, while accounting for the specificities of each sectors involved. In regard to transport applications, alternative fuels may represent a promising solution, at least at short or middle term, such as the International Energy Agency foresees that their share could account for 9% of the road transport fuel needs by 2030 and 27 % by 2050, with the potential resources to reach 48% beyond. If they have already been included in significant blending proportions with conventional fossil fuel in most of the occidental countries, their introduction also coincides with a long-time established program of continuously more drastic standards for engine emissions of NOX and PM, now even further demanding by the seek for combustion efficiency aiming at reducing CO2 emissions.While several works discuss the alternative fuels effect on exhaust emissions when used directly in production Diesel engines, results and analysis are sometimes contradictory, depending sometimes on the conditions in which they were obtained, and the causes of these results remain unclear. Therefore, in order to better understand their effect on the combustion processes, and thus extract the maximum benefits from these fuels in the optimization of engine design and calibration, a detailed comprehension of their spray and combustion characteristics is essential. The approach of this study is mostly experimental and based on an incremental methodology of tests aiming at isolating injection and combustion processes with the objective to identify and quantify the role of both fuel physical and chemical properties at some key stages of the Diesel combustion process. After obtaining a detailed characterization of their properties, five fuels have been injected in an optical engine enabling a sharp control of the thermodynamic e
