The people who sent the first platypus back to England had the same problems. We know that there is conservation of energy. There are some ways to optimize combustion by adjusting the fuel volatility. In the end the best way to improve efficiency is to raise compression ratio.
There are two aspects. One is the efficiency of producing the gas and the other is improving the efficiency of the engine. My limited knowledge of natural gas diesels suggests that different injectors and timing might be needed.
