Historically, clean-burning fuels, and those that are easy to make from waste CO 2 streams or syngas, have failed to ignite using MCCI. In a high-temperature environment, any fuel will behave like diesel fuel, having short ignition delay and burning as it is injected in a mixing fuel plume. In fact, it increases power by 25%.
