1. An internal combustion engine (ICE) producing an exhaust gas stream having reduced nitrogen and NOx emissions from the combustion of a fuel with an oxygen-enriched atmospheric air stream from which nitrogen has been separated,the ICE having an engine block with a plurality of cylinders having walls forming combustion chambers and one or more channels in fluid communication with the cylinders for delivering the oxygen-enriched air for combustion of the fuel,the improvement comprising:

  • one or more air separation devices integrated with the operation of the ICE and in fluid communication with the engine'"'"'s air intake and the combustion chambers, the one or more air separation devices being adapted and configured to separate oxygen molecules from the atmospheric air to mix with the fuel and to return nitrogen molecules to the atmosphere.
