Hydrogen Blended with Gasoline, Diesel, Natural Gas (NGV) as an Alternative Fuel for ICE in Malaysia

Article Preview

Abstract:

The instability of petroleum prices in the world market has caused the price of fuel in Malaysia to increase, especially in the transportation sector. As an alternative, the transition to use hydrogen as fuel was already in the study and research on the ability of hydrogen profit for internal combustion engine in the technical aspect. The governments involvement in the research as source of energy has been undertaken by several government agencies such as MOSTI, universities and automotive manufacturing industries. These agencies are responsible for developing activities, mainly for commercialization. The development of hydrogen energy in this country focuses on the role of hydrogen that includes methods of generating, transporting, storage, production, and long-term planning. Diversity in the use of hydrogen for Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) can be applied through many ways; hydrogen as the primary fuel, hydrogen mixed with gasoline, hydrogen mixed with diesel, and hydrogen mixed with NGV. Compatibility acceptance of ICE with hydrogen as an alternative energy can solve many technical problems such as backfire, knocking, and the reduction of hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and smoke contaminants during engine ignition delay.
