The addition of hydrogen to natural gas has been shown to be a superior motor fuel for producing automotive engines with very low emissions. The objective of adding hydrogen is to extend the lean burn limit of the basefuel (natural gas). By operating a conventional engine with large amounts of excess air, oxides of nitrogen emission can be dramatically reduced without the use of an exhaust catalyst. Hydrocarbon emissions are mostly methane which is nonreactive. By combining hydrogen with other gaseous fuel, only one storage container and one fuel fill is required of the vehicle. The Florida Solar Energy Center has developed several vehicles operating on this fuel mix. Emission and performance results of those vehicles are presented.
