Among the projects of Argonne National Laboratory’s Transportation Technology R&D Center is the development of the “omnivorous engine“. The project seeks to combine in-cylinder measurement technology and advanced controls to optimize spark timing, the quantity, and the timing of injected fuel to produce an engine that will be able to run on any liquid spark ignition fuel with optimal efficiency and low emissions.
