Biofuel model compounds: first-, second

Combustion Pathways of Biofuel Model Compounds A Review of Recent Research and Current Challenges Pertaining to First-, Second-, and Third-Generation Biofuels... 

It is evident that species involved in biofuel combustion will require different model compounds than those involved in HC fuel combustion. An important topic of investigation for the combustion chemistry community is how much the available data pertinent to HC combustion will overlap with the data necessary for modeling alternative fuel combustion. In the past few years, model compounds for alternative fuels have seen s pificandy increased interest from computational and experimental perspectives Lai et al. and Tran et al. have provided informative reviews in this r ard. Within the past few years, in particular, a variety of model compounds have been investigated in the hope of better understanding first- and second-generation biofuels.
