Hydrogen combustion in ICE's is not the clean/green fuel that everyone
thinks it is.
The trouble is that if you use Hydrogen as a fuel you have to add air
to get your oxidiser. Air is mostly Nitrogen. When you heat air inside
a combustion chamber some of the Oxygen is going to mix with the
Nitrogen and this will become Nitrous Oxide. I thought that this was a
pollutant gas. Am I wrong?
Above a certain combustion temperature, yes. There may be some
design workarounds to minimize the problem. Given hydrogen's
other problems, it's probably moot.
