Extensive research has been carried out with regard to the composition of the
exhaust gases of Diesel engines in operation with biodiesel in relation to
the operation with the conventional diesel fuel. Producing biodiesel from
different raw materials and different technological biodiesel production
processes can result in different individual physical and chemical
characteristics of fuel. Generally, it can be said that the use of biodiesel
(and mixtures) reduces the overall toxicity of the exhaust gases in relation
to the operation of the engine with diesel fuel, and this is a significant
environmental potential of biodiesel as a fuel for Diesel engines. However,
there is a diversity of research results, due to different factors. The
paper reviews and summarizes the relevant literature on the mentioned
research that can contribute to the explanation of these effects. It also
points to the need for a very careful selection of biodiesel for use as a
Diesel engine fuel.
