Abstract

A combustion system is for generating energy by the combustion of a fuel, using a combustion device, such as, for example, a gasoline or diesel engine. An emission control system is provided for converting exhaust gas components using an automotive fluid, by the use of which energy, that is relatively environmentally protective and made available for varied applications. At least one hydrogen generating unit is provided for converting the automotive fluid at least partially into an hydrogen-containing fuel.
