A study on engine performance operating on compressed biogas

Methane is similar in energy content compared to gasoline. Therefore, methane is suitable to be paired or replaced with existing Internal Combustion (IC) engine with slight modification. When compared with gasoline in terms of RON, methane gas is much higher. Such quality in vital in producing high...
