Biodiesel is a viable substitute for petroleum-based diesel fuel. Its advantages are improved lubricity, higher cetane number and cleaner emission. Biodiesel and its blends with petroleum-based diesel fuel can be used in diesel engines without any signifi cant modifi cations to the engines. Data from the numerous research reports and test programs showed that as the percent of biodiesel in blends increases, emission of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) all decrease, but the amount of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and fuel consumption is tend to increase. The most signifi cant hurdle for broader commercialization of biodiesel is its cost. In current fuel price policy in Indonesia (especially fuel for transportation), the higher percent of biodiesel in blend will increase the price of blends fuel. The objective of this study is to assess the optimum blends of biodiesel with petroleum-based diesel fuel from the technically and economically consideration. The study result recommends that 20% biodiesel blend with 80% petroleum-based diesel fuel (B20) is the optimum blend for unmodifi ed diesel engine uses.Keywords: biodiesel, emission, optimum, blend

A rule-based SCR control strategy is developed for a 5% biodiesel fueled heavy-diesel engine. The control objective is to reduce the tail-pipe NOx emission while minimizing the urea dosage in a reliable fashion. A total of 32 runs of experimental test in ESC and ETC driving modes are conducted to demonstrate the performance and reliability of the rule-based control strategy. Average NOx reduction rates of 78.5% and 60% are achieved for the ESC and ETC tests respectively. In the mean time, the average urea dosage is 160 gram for the ESC tests and 0.49 % of the fuel consumption for the ETC tests. Variation of less than 7.78% and 12.05% for the ESC and ETC tests respectively demonstrate the reliability of the rule-based control strategy.
