Abstract

Hydrogen internal combustion engines (HICs) are an emerging technology with significant potential for clean energy propulsion. However, they currently face several technical challenges, such as abnormal combustion phenomena, low energy density, and complexities in control under transient operating conditions. The primary technological focus areas include the integration of hydrogen combustion systems, ensuring safety, and enhancing reliability. HICs are vital for promoting environmental protection and sustainable development due to their potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of HIC technology, addressing key challenges and recent research efforts aimed at overcoming these issues. The discussion includes advancements in combustion technology, safety measures, and reliability improvements. With continued innovation, HICs are expected to become a viable alternative in various applications, supporting the global transition to cleaner energy solutions. This overview underscores the importance of further research and development to realize the full potential of hydrogen internal combustion engines.
