AB - This study investigates the potential benefits of using bioalcohol and  nanoparticle-enhanced fuel derived from fig waste in a direct injection  common rail tractor. The aim of this study is to understand how these  alternative fuels derived from agricultural waste affect emissions and the  environment. Engine performance and emission levels were tested when  running on fig waste bioalcohol mixed with nanoparticles. The results showed  a significant reduction in harmful emissions such as NOx and CO compared to  conventional diesel. Furthermore, the sustainability of using fig waste as  biofuel was examined, highlighting its potential to reduce dependence on  fossil fuels and its positive impact on the environment. This research  supports the development of renewable energy sources and promotes  sustainable agricultural practices.
