H-CNG Gaseous Fuel Blend

Basics

• Often Shortened to HCNG
• A Compressed Mixture of Compressed Hydrogen Gas and CNG / Methane
• Allows hydrogen to be used, but doesn't have as much of the energy density issues

To Do

• Find Out:
  • How well does it store? (does the hydrogen diffuse out)
  • What Modifications are needed for use in engines?
  • Any benefits over CNG ?
  • What range of mix ratios can be used? 50%-50%, 25%-75% etc)
  • Any sensors for gas composition needed for real time engine adjustments to gas mix?
  • Energy / kg burned
  • Energy / L burned
  • Can it be used in methane fuel cells?
