Impact of H2 Blending on an 18L Rich-Burn NG Engine with NSCR Catalyst
Date: Thursday, September 26, 2024
Time: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PDT
SoCalGas and Colorado State University invite you to a webinar about the impact of hydrogen blending on natural gas engines.
Interest in hydrogen (H2) fuels is growing, with the industry planning to produce it with stranded or excess energy from renewable sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This work explores the impact that H2-NG blends would have on “Rich burn” (stoichiometric) engines with non-selective catalytic reduction (NSCR), or 3-way, catalysts. Results indicate a significant reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions up to 30 vol% H2 is added to the fuel.
