It could be a direct injection(into the cylinder,not the intake plenum)
form of 2-cycle engine. This has been developed for diesel ICEs(internal
combustion engines=ICE)

Any unburned hydrocarbons in todays engines get burned by the catalytic
converter,that may be what's planned for this other type of ICE.
Or part of the exhaust may get fed back into the intake air.(EGR)
Or both.

Just SWAG on my part.
