Methane virtue of the fact that the reaction proceeds without changes in the amount. It has been
determined that NO is the major atmospheric pollutant. However, it would be advisable to
use more extensively the fuels characterized by the lowest output of nitrogen dioxide
(methane and methanol), since nitrogen dioxide (NO2) related to the 2nd hazard class is
appeared to be the most dangerous to humans. It has been revealed that the reduction in
oxidation temperature using hydrogen as a fuel for electrochemical current generators
may allow reducing nitrogen oxide emissions by more than an order of magnitude as
compared to the best results for ICE.
