Historically, clean-burning fuels, and those that are easy to make from waste CO 2 streams or syngas, have failed to ignite using MCCI. Because this technology allows the engine to continue to operate on an MCCI diesel-like cycle, the engine maintains the high thermal efficiency and torque of traditional diesel engines.
