The depletion of fuel production and raising ecological issues have paid the progress of biofuels in the entire world. Among different biofuels is introducing renewable fuel additives as prospective beneficial blendstocks towards fulfilling systematic, low-carbon technologies internal combustion engines. This research article proposes a new approach to formulate a Fuzzy modeling for examining various promising alternative renewable oxygenated compounds, including ethanol, isopropanol, MTBE, and 2-methyl furan into heavy hydrocracked gasoline a base fuel. No previous study has utilized Fuzzy modeling in formulation of producing high octane fuel based on renewable additives compounds. The effect of selected additives was investigated on the antiknock characteristics. The results reported that the quality and quantity of heavy hydrocracked naphtha have been reinforced, using low carbon oxygenates. Besides, the acquired results provided the possibility to determine the optimum range of selected renewable oxygenates percentages of 30-50% wt. The calculated data of Fuzzy modeling were verified with experimental results. It illustrated that predicted environmental gasoline yields agreed well with experimental results. Finally, low carbon liquid fuel could contribute to produce high quality environmental gasoline, improve environmental characteristics, in terms of decreasing greenhouses emissions, and maximize the vehicles technologies.
