Abstract Biodiesel is revealed as an environmentally friendly alternative fuel for a CI engine and it can palliate regulated and unregulated emissions. Biodiesel is substantially found to reduce the emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter, but increasing (10–15%) oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions compared with conventional diesel fuel. The accurate cause for NOx emission is still vague. This paper reviews the effect of biodiesel properties and formation of NOx emissions and it is classified in three sections. The first section bestows the NOx formation mechanisms. The second edition deals with the influence of formation and biodiesel properties on NOx emissions. Finally, a few prevailing conclusions are epitomised, and more researches are pointed out.
