Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for hydrogen rich exhaust gas recirculation are provided. The system includes the addition of a supplemental injector injecting additional natural gas beyond the stoichiometric point into one of the engine cylinders. After combustion, the exhaust of the cylinder remains high in hydrogen. The exhaust is then routed through a hydrogen rich exhaust path to an exhaust gas recirculation mixer where is it mixed with natural gas and exhaust gas from the other cylinders. The resultant mixture is then routed to all of the cylinders of the engine for improved combustion due to the additional hydrogen.
