(JCL) crop for JB production and its use was also presented. The results revealed that when the engine operates with JB blends in proportions of up to 10%, the brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) increases to 37.5% at full engine load, and the engine’s thermal efficiency is reduced by 10% regarding diesel operation. A reduction in the specific emissions of carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and particulate matter with JB blends of up to 75% of the engine load was found. On the other hand, specific carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions, with regard to diesel, increased by 21.8 and more than 100%, respectively. The lower heating value (LHV) was the property that most influenced the engine’s performance and emissions fuelled with JB blends, because JB has a lower value of LHV than diesel. Finally, the economic and environmental assessment showed that Colombian soil is well-suited to JCL crops. The use of JB instead of palm biodiesel could mean a decrease of 27,730 USD/day and 1588 kg/day of CO2 emissions. 000127948 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000127948 590__ $$a3.0$$b2023 000127948 592__ $$a0.651$$b2023 000127948 591__ $$aENERGY & FUELS$$b108 / 171 = 0.632$$c2023$$dQ3$$eT2 000127948 593__ $$aEngineering (miscellaneous)$$c2023$$dQ1 000127948 593__ $$aEnergy (miscellaneous)$$c2023$$dQ2 000127948 593__ $$aEnergy Engineering and Power Technology$$c2023$$dQ2 000127948 593__ $$aRenewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment$$c2023$$dQ2 000127948 593__ $$aControl and Optimization$$c2023$$dQ2 000127948 593__ $$aFuel Technology$$c2023$$dQ2 000127948 593__ $$aElectrical and Electronic Engineering$$c2023$$dQ2 000127948 594__ $$a6.2$$b2023 000127948 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000127948 700__ $$aVillalba, Jorge 000127948 700__ $$aCarreño, Uriel 000127948 700__ $$aAldana, Didier 000127948 7102_ $$15004$$2590$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
