Currently, the high consumption of fossil fuels is causing problems, perhaps, irreversible to the planet, investing in green energy is an essential point for the sustainable development of any country. Concomitant to this, biomass fuels, in particular natural vegetable oils, appear as an option for the total or partial replacement of these fuels in the production of energy in the current world energy matrix. Corroborating this pretext, the objective of this work is to analyze the effects of using different mixtures of Brazilian commercial diesel oil (92% diesel, 8% biodiesel) with refined soybean oil from the effective cylinder pressure of a stationary diesel generator set. To achieve this purpose, the generator set of the Branco brand, model BD-6500, was used, with the aid of the pressure acquisition system of the Austrian company AVL. Analyzes of the requested fuels were carried out in addition to the experimental tests. The results presented show that the use of mixtures with volumetric ratios of less than 10% of soybean oil may show a drop in the cylinder pressure while mixtures from 10% of soybean oil have an increase in the average pressure indicated.
