The linear generator can quickly switch between different types of green (and not-so-green, if need be) fuel, including biogas, ammonia, and hydrogen. This optimal compression varies with conditions, beginning with the choice of fuel: Hydrogen, for example, reacts with less compression than ammonia. That’s the LEM.
