Abstract

Due to the prohibitive financial expense and logistical difficulties of a wholesale changeover from natural gas to hydrogen, hydrogen-enriched natural gas (HENG) offers a more viable intermediate solution for offsetting the carbon dioxide output of domestic gas usage and reducing the blow-out suscep...
