Abstract
Nowadays the use of fossil fuels for environmentally purpose is being limited. This is especially true for what concern the transportation field: indeed, the necessity for another energy source or carrier arises. One possible solution it’s related with the use of Hydrogen. This can be used both for in-situ electricity generation by means of fuel cells and for mechanical power generation by means of Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs). Hydrogen can be quite interesting for Combustion in ICEs due to its Lower Heating Value (LHV) to stoichiometric Air to Fuel ratio which is higher than that of other fuels like Gasoline or Diesel, and this could lead to an efficiency in combustion processes.
Moreover, it will be possible to use for focused applications the already existing and highly developed technology of ICEs
