The Hydrogen-Boosted Gasoline Engine

An Alternative to Diesels, Hybrids, and Fuel Cells?

The Hydrogen-Boosted Gasoline Engine: "There's a new technology that utilizes a fast-response on-board reformer to generate a small amount of hydrogen from gasoline. This hydrogen is added to the engine's normal air/fuel mixture. Engines designed to run on a mix of hydrogen/gasoline can see a fuel-economy gain of 20 to 30 percent with no requirement for control of harmful NOx emissions, oxides of nitrogen."
