Abstract: The invention concerns a method of operating a compression ignition engine (10) fuelled with a combination of a hydrocarbon fuel and hydrogen. The method comprises: during a cold start, fuelling the engine with the hydrocarbon fuel alone, or with the hydrocarbon fuel and a reduced proportion of hydrogen compared with warm miming conditions, and increasing the proportion of hydrogen used to fuel the engine as it warms up whilst running.
Abstract: The invention concerns a method of control of NOx emission from an internal combustion engine fueled with a mixture of a hydrocarbon fuel and hydrogen. The method comprises reducing the hydrogen content of the fuel mixture at high engine loads.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of detecting hydrogen leakage from a power plant installation using hydrogen as fuel. A rate of supply of hydrogen to the power plant (“the supply rate”) is determined. A rate of change of mass of hydrogen in the tank arrangement (“the rate of mass change”) is determined. The supply rate is compared with the rate of mass change to determine whether leakage is taking place.
