Claim 7:
8. A method of operating a buffered internal combustion engine for reducing greenhouse emissions using gaseous or liquid fuel comprises the following steps repeated continuously until a stop command is received and completed:
evaluating engine conditions;
scheduling engine start if engine is off;
setting tank system's current preferred ranges to the optimal pressure levels;
comparing current pressure levels in tank system to preferred ranges and schedule corrective action if current pressure levels are outside the preferred ranges;
comparing current speed or [load] power to the desired values and schedule increase or decrease of power or speed at the optimal efficiency and sensed urgency;
scheduling a standby or stop of engine if a request from the operator is detected, or ECM determines its need;
reevaluating parameters for a new group of cycles, and event triggers;
assigning a function to each of the chambers, and recalculating parameters;
running the engine as scheduled for the time or number of cycles calculated by executing the functions specified in each active chamber, and operating other engine components.
