STUDY OF THE EFFECT ON PERFORMANCE AND CONSUMPTION OF HYDROGEN INJECTION IN LIGHT VEHICLES POWERED BY SPARK-IGNITION INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

Climate change and the requirement for energy sources are priority issues that have opened the requirement for Hydrogen technologies due to the remarkable capacity to use alternative energy sources. Several governments have implemented alternatives to primary energy use to eliminate carbon and generate different energy management habits. Over-inhabited countries with significant energy demands, such as China, the United States, and India, have enormously boosted the need for fossil fuels, significantly decreasing crude oil reserves and increasing fuel prices. Although there are several alternatives for alternative energy sources, Hydrogen is one of the most viable due to the high energy density that this fluid can store. Being one of the most abundant elements in the universe, it opens up a series of possibilities for using Hydrogen once the production process is over, which typically uses renewable energy processes; the most common way of using it is thanks to hydrogen batteries. The mechanism for using Hydrogen can be from the reaction with oxygen for its subsequent production of electrical energy that is capable of feeding the batteries that, in turn, will deliver the stored energy to the electric motor. One of the great strengths of the use of Hydrogen lies in the variety of methods for obtaining Hydrogen with meager contamination rates.
