Abstract

Hydrogen is most easily used as combustion engine fuel in a spark ignition engine. This chapter starts from the properties of hydrogen and hydrogen mixtures to present the various options for running spark ignition engines on hydrogen, reviewing the power density potential, emissions and efficiency. This is then linked to past and present research and development of hydrogen fueled vehicles, before concluding with the most promising emerging markets.
