Compressed natural gas has already been adopted as a regular transportation fuel in many countries including parts of India. On the other hand, hydrogen despite its proven “clean burning characteristic” is not being widely used as an alternative fuel. This research explains how addition of hydrogen to existing. Diesel fuelled engine can ensure an early entry of hydrogen into our energy infrastructure. Hydrogen is considered a promising alternative fuel due to its high energy density, clean combustion, and potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Blending hydrogen with conventional fuels like diesel has gained attention as a strategy to introduce hydrogen into existing transportation infrastructure without requiring extensive modifications. This abstract focuses on the investigation of 5% hydrogen and diesel blends as a potential fuel mixture for internal combustion engines. The study involves the evaluation of various properties and performance characteristics of the 5% hydrogen and diesel blends. These properties include the combustion characteristics, engine performance, emissions, and overall fuel economy. Experimental tests are conducted using a test engine under controlled conditions, allowing for comprehensive data collection and analysis.
