Abstract

Extensive use of fossil fuels is responsible for such environmental problems as acid rain and smog through the release of nitrogen oxides (NO_x), which form at high temperatures during combustion. Current research efforts are focused on developing new technologies that employ hydrogen gas as a fuel that is as efficient as coal or oil, yet does not contribute to air pollution.
