The research team, led by Dr Muzammil Arshad, instructional assistant professor for the Department of Multidisciplinary Engineering at Texas A&M University, performed a study to examine a spark engine’s efficiency and performance<\/a> when powered by a hydrogen-enriched fuel, a method that could considerably reduce global carbon emissions.<\/p>\n Environmentally-friendly transport is becoming increasingly frequent, with alternative energy vehicles powered by means of electricity or hydrogen now seen throughout the world in a global quest to combat carbon emissions. Despite this, the vast majority of vehicles seen on our roads today still consist of a spark-ignition engine \u2013 otherwise known as an internal combustion engine \u2013 which traditionally runs on petrol, further exacerbating already alarming levels of carbon emissions.<\/p>\n In an effort to combat this global issue, Dr Ashad \u2013 assisted by his two multidisciplinary students, Jonathan Rodriguez and Miriam Alanis, tested the effectiveness of dual fuels \u2013 such as hydrogen-enriched fuels, on spark-ignition engines to analyse the potential benefits in our battle against carbon emissions.<\/p>\n Arsha said: “Due to climate change as well as a focus on reduced emissions and deprivation of fossil fuel reserves, there has been immense research to reduce emissions. This has led to investigating effects of dual fuels on the emissions as well as engine performance parameters because we don’t want to lose the combustion characteristics by injecting a secondary fuel.”<\/p>\nReducing carbon emissions produced by spark-ignition engines<\/h3>\n
