sisäpolttoaine

Sisäpolttoaine is a Finnish term that translates to "internal combustion fuel" in English. It refers to any fuel that is burned within an internal combustion engine to produce power. The most common types of sisäpolttoaine are gasoline and diesel fuel, which power a vast majority of road vehicles worldwide. These fuels are derived from crude oil through a refining process.

Beyond gasoline and diesel, sisäpolttoaine can also encompass other energy sources. Natural gas, in both compressed (CNG) and liquefied (LNG) forms, is used in some vehicles. Ethanol, often blended with gasoline, is another example. Biogas, produced from organic matter, is also emerging as a sustainable sisäpolttoaine. The specific type of sisäpolttoaine used depends on the design and requirements of the internal combustion engine. Each fuel has different properties that affect engine performance, emissions, and efficiency. The choice of sisäpolttoaine also has significant implications for environmental impact and fuel availability.
