Abstract
The interest on the utilization of landfill gases and biogases for energy production has been increasing due to environment concerns and global warming caused by burning fossil fuels, renewable nature of these gases. Using those synthesis gases to generate energy with engine encourages more efficient collection reducing emissions into the atmosphere and generates revenues for the operators. However the lower calorific value of synthesis gases than that of LPG or CNG affects the combustion stability and power output. Thus it becomes necessary to address disadvantages involved by studying synthesis gases in technological perspective. This paper discussed synthesis gas as a fuel for 60kW dual-fuel engine to produce power in an effective way. The methane diluted with $N_2$ was used as a fuel and developed ECU and injector driver facilitated the investigations with diesel fuel.
