The dual-fuel PCCI strategy showed thermal efficiency of 53%. Emissions under the dual-fuel concept, at 11 bar IMEP. The horizontal axis shows the percentage of gasoline in the blend. Here, the potential for fuel economy improvement would even be larger than in diesel truck engines. Source: Rolf Reitz. Rolf Reitz.

A research team at the University of Wisconsin–Madison has identified a new way to convert ammonia to nitrogen gas through a process that could be a step toward ammonia replacing carbon-based fuels. Ammonia has been burned as a fuel source for many years. However, burning ammonia releases toxic nitrogen oxide gases.

A key strategy for achieving the project goals will be a pioneering low-temperature gasoline combustion system that could help significantly improve light-duty vehicle fuel economy. Hyundai, the world’s fourth largest automaker, has declared GDi among its key technologies to lead the industry in fuel economy.

A new study by Dr. Gautam Kalghatgi and his colleagues at Saudi Aramco provides further support a pathway for significant improvements in the efficiency of a gasoline engine (i.e., spark ignited, SI) by running it in compression ignition mode with naphtha fuels. Broadly, this approach is termed Gasoline Compression Ignition (GCI).
