Alternative Fuels for CI Engines
Cvejn, Michal ; Prokop, Aleš (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
Interest in more environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels is growing. Not only because of limited oil supplies, but also because emissions regulations are becoming more stringent. Diesel engines are widely used around the world, and not only in road transport. However, the electrification of the fleet may not be the only solution to the issue of sustainability in the future. This bachelor thesis presents an overview of fuels that could be used to replace diesel in diesel engines. For each of the individual fuels, the production process, leading properties, emission characteristics and any necessary engine design modifications are presented. Hydrotreated vegetable oil appears to be the best substitute for conventional diesel at present. Finally, the current availability of these fuels in the Czech Republic is given. More attention should be paid to this topic in the future.

Alternative Fuels for CI-engines
Matoušek, Martin ; Řehák, Kamil (referee) ; Dundálek, Radim (advisor)
The topic of this bachelor thesis is alternative fuels applicable in diesel engines. First, a brief introduction to the diesel engine is given, then the individual alternative fuels are described. The most important findings about these fuels are summarized and a comparison with diesel fuel is made. Finally, each fuel is evaluated in terms of its advantages, disadvantages and applicability in practice.
