Abstract Recently, a new design of engine combustion that achieves higher efficiency and less NOx emission has been proposed. Some researchers have started studying the concept, which is called Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI), but there have been few reports on investigations using a future prospective alternative fuel, natural gas. In this study, natural gas fueled operation of HCCI using a single cylinder gas engine was conducted. Operating and exhaust characteristics were obtained. Experimental data confirmed the potential of higher efficiency and less NOx emission, though THC and CO were higher. Based on these data, the feasibility of this concept for gas engines is also examined.
