The world faces the crises of energy demand, rising petroleum prices & depletion of fossil fuel resources. Bio-diesel is mono-alkyl-ester of long chain of fatty acids derived from renewable feedstock such as vegetable oils, animal fats by transesterification process. This review paper is related to the diesel engine performance & emission characteristics fueled with palm oil, jatropha oil, moringa oil, hone oil, palm fatty acid distillate(PFAD), pongamia pinnata, tamanu, mustard oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, corn oil . From comparison of properties such brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption, unburned hydrocarbons, smoke &NOx , it is inferred that the bio-diesel prepared can be used as alternative fuel for CI engine. Study reveals that the effect of bio-diesel on CI engine when compared to diesel & evolves conclusions with respect to performance & emissions.

Palm oil, jatropha oil, moringa oil, hone oil, palm fatty acid distillate(PFAD), pongamia pinnata, tamanu oil, mustard oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, corn oil, NOX, CI engine.
