Abstract
Majority of the research work is focused on the utilization of compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in engines operated on both single and dual fuel mode. However, use of producer gas in engines still needs more detailed studies, as this area is less investigated. Literature review suggests that the combustion characteristics of the producer gas operated engines need extensive research for a long-term use in both gas and dual-fuel engine. In this context, this paper mainly presents a literature review based on the utilization of producer gas as fuel for transport and power generation applications. Based on the review of literatures, it can be concluded that this area requires more research with long term engine operation.
