H2i Technology’s commercial testing has proven its revolutionary H₂ enhancement kits can generate substantial emission reductions and fuel savings for diesel internal combustion engines.

The results showed the technology can:

• Reduce emissions of diesel internal combustion engines with:

Reduced exhaust smoke by 49%.

Reduced exhaust opacity by 50%.

• Cut fuel usage by 11%, with the potential to reach 20% on some older engines.

The company’s team of world-renowned engineers ran the testing on a 250KVA diesel generator loaded with 130KW to simulate the diesel generators being used in commercial applications. 

The testing at H2i’s workshop in Lilydale, Victoria, showed the technology can save generator operators up to ~ $90,000 per unit on fuel costs each year when running a 250KVA generator, with more significant savings on large-scale diesel engines.

The technology will also ensure that a 250KVA unit using the kits will cut its carbon emissions by 300 tpy. Additionally, this will allow companies to access the lucrative carbon credits system.

“This is a tremendous step forward for us,” said H2i Technology Chaiman, David Vinson. “Our testing has shown we can assist diesel engine users to gain significant emission reductions while also cutting costs.”

“With research indicating diesel generators supply more than 50% of the Australian mining industry’s electrical demand — as well as the diesel-powered mining services equipment extensively utilized — we know there is a market for this technology and that has been reflected by the substantial interest we have received from the sector.”

This forms part of H2i Technology’s overarching strategy, which has seen the company focus resources on stationary units so it can deliver on the large market demand to extend the operational life, reduce emissions and optimize the efficiency of existing diesel infrastructure.

H2i Technology is already in advanced conversations with companies in the mining services industry who are wanting to progress to field testing the equipment on their premises.

Following these results, the company will be launching its Series B Capital Raise in the coming weeks to fund the delivery of a commercial prototype, which will be ready for market in Q4 2022.
