dc.description.abstractScarcity of mineral resources has led to the exploration of alternate fuels such as coal-to-liquid fuels derived from coal. Specifically, a country like Pakistan, rich in coal reserves and still a developing country, cannot solely depend on fuel imports. This paper provides a thorough examination of the testing process for coal-to-liquid fuels derived from the Thar coal reserves. It includes a feasibility analysis and explores the possibilities of these fuels as environmentally friendly alternatives. This study evaluated a diesel engine's emission profiles and engine performance. Additionally, a comparison between coal-to-liquid blends and standard diesel was conducted. With better emission profiles, the results reveal that coal-to-liquid fuels have comparable characteristics and performance to traditional diesel. In the period of engine testing, parameters are Fuel consumption, braking power, and exhaust gasses including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxides, and nitrogen oxide were noticed and recorded among multiple engine testing parameters. Initial testing of the diesel engine used diesel fuel, and all findings were recorded. Secondly, coal-to-liquid fuel was poured into the fuel measuring system, and the engine was run until parameters were recorded. Third, several CTL blends were made using conventional diesel fuel, and then tested on the same diesel engine. This enabled a thorough evaluation of engine efficiency and emission characteristics when comparing coal-to-liquid fuels, their blends, and traditional diesel. Overall, this report sheds light on the understanding of coal-to-liquid fuels, their potential benefits as an alternative to diesel fuel, and the challenges in producing coal-to-liquid fuel for a clean, green, environmentally friendly future.
