SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING, DISPENSING, USING AND MONITORING A HYDROGEN ENRICHED FUEL

摘要

A system [10] for producing, dispensing, using and monitoring a hydrogen enriched fuel includes a producing system [12] configured to produce the hydrogen enriched fuel, a vehicle [16] having an engine [18] configured to use the hydrogen enriched fuel, and a dispensing system [14] configured to store and dispense the hydrogen enriched fuel into the vehicle [16] . The system [10] also includes a fuel delivery system [20] on the vehicle [16] configured to deliver the hydrogen enriched fuel to the engine [18] , and a control system [44] configured to control the producing system [12] and to monitor the use of the hydrogen enriched fuel by the vehicle [16]. A method includes the steps of producing hydrogen gas and a hydrocarbon fuel, blending the hydrogen gas and the hydrocarbon fuel into the hydrogen enriched fuel, using the hydrogen enriched fuel in the engine, and tracking emissions during the producing step and during the using step.
