Hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines might provide investment willingness to build the H2 charging network and supply capacity. The hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine is not a completely new concept, but the accelerated developments in the hydrogen economy have brought it back to the fore. Our initial research is a multi-step process consisting of measuring, modifying and optimizing a diesel engine. Our most important laboratory for this research is the engine brake dynamometer equipped uniquely in the country.
Another topic is open-flame combustions, during which we determine in which direction the emission of natural gas transported via gas pipelines changes when it is mixed with hydrogen. The results of the measurements can provide the safe hydrogen-natural gas mixture ratio, with which the shortage of natural gas could be reduced.
