The promise of reducing harmful and CO2 emissions by focusing on hydrogen-methane blends (HCNG) have recently attracted the interest of vehicle manufacturers and transport operators. Several experiments have been conducted in laboratory facilities to assess the potential of HCNG blends in order to decrease the exhaust emissions. This paper reports the results of experimental tests performed at the ENEA Casaccia Research Center aiming to evaluate the energy and environmental performances of a CNG vehicle when fuelled with a hydrogen-methane blend. Two buses for urban transit service were fuelled with HCNG blends with different percentage of hydrogen (5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% of hydrogen by volume). A 100% methane gas was used as reference to compare the advantages and disadvantages that can be derived from the use of HCNG blends. Road tests have been carried out by running fixed tracks, which are representative of urban and suburban driving cycles. Vehicles were powered with a lean burn engine whose setup - based on ignition advance angle, has been tuned for controlling the NOx emissions. CO2 emissions have been investigated to evaluate the leverage effect based on an increased CO2 reduction resulting from an increased engine efficiency. (C) 2010 Professor T. Nejat Veziroglu.
