Abstract: Despite the fact that alcohols tend to be used as alternative fuels for Spark Ignition (SI) engines, with worldwide good implementation results, because of EU directive that rises the bio-fuels amount in classic fuels mixtures up to 20% in the years to come, researchers are strongly encouraged to extend their efforts in order to offer bio-alcohols fueling solutions to diesel engines either. The paper reveals the certain perspectives on the potential use of bio-ethanol produced by wooden bio-mass enzymathic fermentation as appropriate diesel engine fuel, in mixture with classic diesel fuel and bio-diesel. This documentation would like to connect the possibilities of bio-ethanol production capacity to diesel engines fueling technologies and to their experimental studies results in using alcohols by nowadays.
