Agriculture fruit waste and municipal waste management in many countries, especially in large crowded cities, is a serious problem. In the fruit and vegetable market, tons of garbage are generated that is worthless. Nearly 20–30% of the fruit and vegetables produced are solid waste that causes waste disposal problems. These solid wastes can be used for the production of biofuels as an alternative to fossil fuel. Furthermore, an alternative to conventional fuel is required due to the increasing number of vehicles and the depletion of fossil fuels. Currently, 10% ethanol-gasoline blended is typically used in passenger cars. This paper explores the preparation of ethanol from pomegranate waste fruits and the effects of its different variations on the spark-ignition engine performance. The ethanol has been developed from the pomegranate waste using fermentation process. Four blends were prepared and tested at a steady 10:1 compression ratio and wide-open throttle for various speeds. Output variables were analyzed including indicated and braking power, thermal performance and volumetric efficiencies. Ethanol enrichment has enhanced the indicated power, volumetric effectiveness and mechanical performance. In all the fuel mixture tested, an engine speed of 1500 rpm and 15% ethanol blend was estimated as optimum values.
