The objective of this study is to investigate fuel characteristics and vehicle application of biodiesel from microalgae Tetraselmis sp. in Korea. From the methods, microalgae Tetraselmis sp. is converted to biodiesel(fatty acid methyl ester) via trans-esterification process for alternative diesel fuel. Biodiesel blend with 2.5% from microalgae Tetraselmis sp. was to assess emissions (CO2, CO, NOx, PM and hydrocarbon) and fuel economy performance of a passenger car in chassis dynamometer system. In conclusions, fuel property of biodiesel from microalgae Tetraselmis sp. was within the limit by the Korean specification. It also showed reduction of emission of Biodiesel blend(2.5%) from microalgae Tetraselmis sp compared to those of conventional diesel fuel (no biodiesel blending) as a base test fuel and it was performed the similar result of fuel economy. |
