Running diesel engines on natural gas is getting serious attention for the bus fleets in north central Pennsylvania as natural gas is cheap there. GE put out bids for injectors to convert their locomotive engines to natural gas. Hydrogen is a highly volatile fuel and so is prone to pre-ignition; not something useful in a turbo diesel.
