Biofuels are the alternate solutions in the fossil fuel family and has been mainly utilized for the reduction in the emissions that are been generated through I.C. engine combustion. This comparison study basically works on the emission characteristics of various types of biofuels with the existing fossil fuel utilized in an internal combustion engine. Through the research work it has been concluded that the biofuels or contributing to the lower emission levels as compared to fossil fuels. According to the Greet model study, methanol produced by gasification is the best recommended fuel for combustion with the lowest emission levels. This study shown that using methanol fuel produced by gasification results in the lowest GHG emission value of 11.44 gm using the GREET model.
