Does that mean that we all move back to buying diesels again? :')


It will still be polluting, (NOx and carbon particles.)
So no advantage there.


The pollution created by an IC engine depends on the type of fuel in use.



Unless you can stop the engine breathing air, high combustion temperatures
will produce nox irrespective of fuel surely?


Mmm. You can do combustion without using air.

The classic is heating coal and metal oxide. What you get is pure CO2
and metal.

Then you can burn the metal in air back to oxide and feed it back in
