ABSTRACT
Fast depletion of fossil fuels is urgently demanding a carry out work for research to find out the viable alternative fuels for meeting sustainable energy demand with minimum environmental impact. In the future, our energy systems will need to be renewable and sustainable, efficient and costeffective, convenient and safe. Hydrogen is expected to be one of the most important fuels in the near future to meet the stringent emission norms. The use of the hydrogen as fuel in the internal combustion engine represents an alternative use to replace the hydrocarbons fuels, which produce polluting gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydro carbon (HC) during combustion. In this paper contemporary research on the hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine can be given. First hydrogen-engine fundamentals were described by examining the engine-specific properties of hydrogen and then existing literature were surveyed.
Keywords: Internal combustion engine, hydrogen, emissions, alternative fuel

INTRODUCTION

For more than a century, hydrocarbon fuels have played a leading role in propulsion and power generation. However, increase in stringent environment regulations on exhaust emissions and anticipation of the future depletion of worldwide petroleum reserves provides strong encouragement for research on alternative fuels [1]. As a result

    There is currently a substantial market for hydrogen in a variety of industrial applications. It is a raw material to produce chemicals such as ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, it is used as a reducing agent in various processes such as steel refining and float glass production, and it is even used in food processing such as the hydrogenation of vegetable oils. A particularly large consumer of hydrogen is the petroleum sector as demand for low sulfur fuels increases. This market for hydrogen is increasing as these industries grow, particularly in high growth economies.…

    Gasoline powered vehicles release a lot of green house gasses, but mostly carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming. On the other hand, Hydrogen powered vehicles emit no green house gasses; just heat and water. This water is also pollutant free and clean enough for people to even drink.5 FCVs will also reduce the amount of air pollution in the U.S (mainly emitted from gasoline vehicles). If the hydrogen fuel is produced through fossil fuels,…

    While natural gas has had a direct negative effect on the Ozone Layer, scientists have found an element that allegedly causes no additional threat to global warming, hydrogen fuel cells. The negative effects that oil has had on the environment have been a major factor in the manufacturing of cars that contain hydrogen fuel cells. Recently, multiple car dealerships have begun manufacturing cars that contain replacements of the internal combustion engine with hydrogen fuel cells. Jim Motavalli, editor of E. Magazine, writes, “A hydrogen car emits no pollution or global warming gases, aside from what might have resulted from producing the hydrogen itself,” (105). This is what scientists have been seeking to accomplish. Motavalli also states, “The only byproducts are heat and water,” (105). Given these two facts, one can observe the advanced technology hydrogen fuel cells may have to offer. Because the exact emissions from the hydrogen fuel cells are created through natural elements,…

    The idea of shifting world dependence from oil to an alternative fuel source is not new, but the ability to actually succeed on a large scale has only recently developed. For over a decade small groups of researchers around the globe, but especially in the United States, have been working meticulously to find a readily available natural resource that could be turned into a fuel source. Much of the research of this time period has led to the conclusion that, using hydrogen, a system could be developed that would produce the needed energy with little to no emissions (Wakefield 36).…

    When comparing the similarities and differences between virtue theory, utilitarianism, and deontology we find that they all deal with how one judge’s morality and ethics. These theories all include judging in different aspects, whether it is in the moment, what happens after, or over a lifetime. The ethics and morality behind these theories all deal with what is right, or what is best for the present, then separate paths as the theories work toward the future. With virtue ethics a person strives for excellence performing duties, and acquiring traits that others would admire. With utilitarianism a person makes a decision based on the best results, and what is best for the most amounts of people. With deontology a person makes a decision depending on what he or she thinks is morally correct, not necessarily based on the best results for the people, but more for the wellbeing of that person.…

    Hydrogen is also better for the environment. Hydrogen is good because its only byproduct in water coming out of the exhaust pipe, unlike oil which's byproduct is CO2, a chemical that is very harmful. Hydrogen is made through a process called electrolysis. This process just separates the molecules. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It is the best fuel.…

    Do you like paying $3.78 for a gallon of gasoline? Well, as of May 16, 2008 that is the national average. You wake up knowing you need to fill the tank and the hair stands up on the back of your neck as you think of how much more the price has increased over night. It doesn’t have to be that way if you believe in the power of change. Hydrogen fuel is that change for the automobiles of the future. Hydrogen has been used for decades, but mostly for commercial use. Each year, we get closer to removing the oil company’s choke hold on our wallets. It’s time to drive with a lighter purse and a cleaner environment and it’s time for hydrogen fuel. The two largest points of debate with hydrogen fuel are cost and production…

    Secondly, now to explain the ways to use hydrogen as a fuel. The first way is called electrolysis. It is where an electrical current is sent into the water in the fuel tank where the hydrogen and oxygen atoms split from each other and then rejoining creating a stronger electric current to drive the vehicle. The only by-product of this is harmless water vapour. The second way is burning the hydrogen in a very similar way to the way you burn petrol. That’s why the hydrogen burning vehicles will also run on petrol with no modifying. We know that it will burn well enough because the sun is made up of 75% hydrogen. The only by-products from burning hydrogen are heat and water vapour.…

    Many scientists find that hydrogen can significantly reduce global warming and other types of pollutions. Hydrogen fuel cells can be easily produced and operated by separating water into oxygen and hydrogen under electrolysis or extracting from food and animal wastes. It produces no emission other than pure water and eliminates human and animal wastes at the same time. Pure hydrogen fueled vehicles have the same concept as hybrid cars. It charges the fuel cell battery by converting hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and powers the engines. According to the…
