Sustainability of energy supply has become a prime concern for energy producers and consumers alike. There is heightened awareness in the global community about the decreasing supply of conventional fossil fuels along with increasing fuel and energy demand and the consequent rise in unit energy cost. In addition to the sustainability aspect, the environmental impact of emissions from fossil fuel combustion is the focus of global targets for emissions reduction. In this context, the research and application of sustainable and non-polluting fuels become significant. Internal combustion (IC) engines are part of a significant energy-consuming sector, and the application of sustainable and non-polluting fuels within IC engines would be impactful. Biogas and hydrogen are viewed as sustainable and non-polluting alternatives to conventional fossil fuels. However, either of these used individually offer certain disadvantages. Experimental results and analysis of the performance and emissions characteristics of an IC engine fueled with biogas blended with 5, 10, and 15% hydrogen volume fractions are studied. An increase in hydrogen content increases the engine’s performance and power and reduces carbon monoxide (CO) and total hydrocarbons (THCs). However, nitrogen oxides (NOx) are found to increase due to higher combustion temperatures attributed to hydrogen. A 17.5% increase in brake power is observed for 15% hydrogen-enriched biogas, compared to plain biogas, at an equivalence ratio of 0.6. Similarly, a 17% increase in BTE, a 50% decrease in CO, a 68% decrease in UHC, but a 71% increase in NOx are observed for 15% hydrogen-enriched biogas. |
