Abstract
Using natural gas-hydrogen blended fuel (HCNG) in a heavy duty vehicle is regarded as an alternative to meet reinforced emission regulation compared to a recent direct injection (DI) diesel engine. Hydrogen can lead stable lean combustion even under leaner mixture condition than natural gas, so that improving not only thermal efficiency but also $NO_x$ emissions. In the present study, the feasibility of HCNG engine's commercialization was accessed with HCNG fuel (30% $H_2$ and 70% natural gas) in aspect to the reliability and possibility to reduce $NO_x$ emissions by the level of EURO-VI under various operating conditions.
