A new retrofit system has been developed that allows existing diesel engines to operate on a fuel mixture comprised of 90% hydrogen. This technology, currently in its early stages, aims to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency. The system works by adding hydrogen to the engine, replacing the standard diesel injection system. It incorporates independent control over the timing of both hydrogen and diesel injections, facilitating the efficient use of low-quality hydrogen. The technology is designed to provide a sustainable solution for various businesses, allowing them to decrease their carbon footprint without replacing their current machinery. The development team has showcased how the stratified hydrogen injection technique will be able to produce pockets of higher and lower concentration within the cylinder. This will reduce nitrous oxide emissions to levels lower than those of conventional diesel engines.
