The FuelWell fuel catalyst makes it possible to make cars and vehicles with an internal combustion engine using diesel or gasoline as fuel more environmentally
About
Transport takes the second place in the world and the first place in the city area as a source of the negative impact on the environment. The volume of vehicle annual emission of CO2 only is 8.2 Gt in the world. Web-link: https://www.iea.org/reports/tracking-transport-2020 Total volume of other emissions of harmful substances is globally: NOx - 79 mln tons CO - 29 mln tons PM (particulate matter) - 6 mln tons As a rule, after purchasing and starting of operation every car, truck, locomotive, tractor and other vehicle do not correspond the declared criteria by the manufacturer in terms of ecological and economic efficiency. The major volume of emissions is from the after-market vehicles and cars, i.e. those in use. Improvements, which carry out on the market of the new vehicles, cannot help with solving this problem crucially, because the percentage of new automobile production is substantially less than the total amount of automobiles and transport. Fuel cost is the second largest expense after the purchasing of the vehicle itself. And the older the automobile or other vehicle gets, the more fuel it consumes and pollutes the environment. What emissions does the automobile produce exactly? Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the factors of the global warming. Nitric oxide (NOx) has a negative impact on the human health. Carbon monoxide (CO) is highly poisonous, has no colour or smell. Particulate matter, soot (PM) is not eliminated from the body, very dangerous. In Europe 376,000 of people die annually of diseases caused by emissions of NOx, PМ and soot. Web-link: (https://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/air/health-impacts-of-air-pollution). Annual approximate emission volume per 1 vehicle in use is: Passenger mover pollutes the atmosphere with: CO2 – 2 700 kg СО – 6.6 kg NOx - 16 kg РМ, soot- 2.2 kg Light commercial vehicle pollutes the atmosphere with: CO2 – 15 200 kg СО – 66.6 kg NOx - 126 kg РМ, soot- 13.68 kg Truck pollutes the atmosphere with: CO2 - 97500 kg СО - 345 kg NOx - 1485 kg РМ, soot- 45 kg * Indices are based on the average annual run of each vehicle, so in reality indices can differ. TECHNOLOGY. Innovative technology FuelWell – reducing carbon footprint of the automotive industry. Help business to achieve ecological sustainability through increasing efficiency of the existing car park. FuelWell reduces emissions of harmful substances, increases the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines. Technology is based on the principles of catalysis: Through a catalytic process the fuel burn in a fuller volume in a result of which the volume of emissions of harmful substances is reduced and the efficiency of the fuel consumption increases. Models for diesel and gasoline engines were designed. The technology works with all existing systems for cleaning and neutralizing emissions The efficiency of the technology is confirmed by MOTOR TRANSPORT INSTITUTE, ITS, Warsaw (Poland), report No.0527 / COS / 18 Also in a real sector, test runs and pilot projects. With FuelWell your car park can achieve the next level of the efficiency: Reduce the emissions of harmful substances: - СО2 by 15%, NOx by 35%, СО by 39%, РМ by 90%, increase the efficiency of fuel consumption by 10%. Your automobiles reduce emissions in a year by at least: Passenger mover CO2 - 405 kg СО - 3 kg NOx - 6 kg РМ soot - 2 kg Light commercial vehicle CO2 - 2268 kg СО - 26 kg NOx – 44.1 kg РМ soot - 12 kg Truck CO2 - 14625 kg СО - 135 kg NOx – 519.8 kg РМ, soot - 41 kg The company has developed a wide line-up for all means of vehicle of various types of industry. Passenger mover; Light commercial vehicle; Heavy commercial vehicle; Tractors and agricultural machinery: Railway transport, locomotives; Diesel generator set. Using FuelWell, any business can solve a problem of carbon footprint on all types and kind or automobiles and transport at once. At current time - FuelWell technology is protected by Ukrainian patent right, next step is obtaining of patent rights in EU. FuelWell is registered trade mark, owned to the project developer. With FuelWell car park can achieve the next level of efficiency: Reduce the emissions of harmful substances: - СО2 by 15%, NOx by 35%, СО by 39%, РМ by 90%, increase the efficiency of fuel consumption by 10%.
Key Benefits
Our competitive environment consists of direct and indirect competitors. The market is quite big and there is no single competitive solution, which allows to take the leading market positions. Indirect competitors include technologies and projects that want to change existing markets, such as: - Electrical transport – apply to passenger transport; under development for other sectors; there is no ready-made solution. - Hydrogen fuel cells – technology is under development; there is no ready-made solution. - Technologists to reduce fuel consumption– GPS trackers, telematics systems, programme solutions for optimization of the logistic routes, which lead to the reduction of fuel consumption and, as a result, to the reduction of emissions of harmful substances - apply to almost all types of transport, logistics and transportation service/shipment. - Technologies of purification of exhaust gas –ADBlue systems, SLR, a new generation of automotive catalyst of exhaust gas. Our direct competitors are the technologies that improve efficiency of fuel combustion in the internal combustion engine: Rentar - https://rentar.com/ Fuelcat - https://fuelcat.co.uk/ Purify Fuel - https://www.purifyfuel.com/combustion-catalysts/ Ecopra - https://www.ecopra.com/en/ Our technology main advantages for customers are next: Confirmation of ecological efficiency Confirmation of economic efficiency Ease of installation No necessity to maintain while in use Affordability Low investment threshold Shot pay-off period due to the reducing of fuel expenses This technology is one of the most effective technology of cost reducing for 1 kg CO2 on the market. Technology is flexibility and usability - the line-up is developed for different types of transport and equipment and can be applied in all industries, where the internal combustion engines are used. Additional positive influence: due to the fuller burning such indices as PM soot reduces by 90%. Soot is unburned fuel, so in a result of a significant reducing of soot level in exhaust gas life time of EGR soot filter also increases. In connection with the reduction of NOx emissions, there will be a decrease in urea consumption due to a decrease in the concentration of gases in the new cars with AdBlue urea liquid.
Applications
As part of car emissions, in addition to the harmful carbon dioxide CO2, which contributes to global warming, it emits harmful gases that poison the human body, these are CO, NOx and PM soot (not excreted from the human body). In 2018 alone, for the results of a study by European scientists in the EU, about 400 thousand people die annually from PM and NOx soot. With the global implementation of our technology, we can significantly reduce air pollution in cities and metropolitan areas. A significant reduction in NOx and PM soot emissions will reduce the negative impact on the health of people living in cities and suffering from the negative impact of emissions. By introducing into the market at least 1 million devices for each type of transport, we can achieve a CO2 reduction of 9.9 million tons annually and will increase fuel efficiency by 2.7 billion euros for consumers, thereby reducing fuel costs for consumers and businesses. A testing of WLTP drawing cycle was made in the EU laboratory, where the ecological efficiency was confirmed. We had recently prepared and taken part in the funding programmes of Horizon Europe 2020, including the competition for the cleanest engine of the future what was a part of Horizon programme. We have successfully launched a few pilot projects together with large national Ukrainian companies such as Kernel, Fozzy Group, MHP agro-holding and others, some of these projects has been still running. We have become the winners in the competition from “Vostok” Bank, and in the competition for decarbonisation of the agricultural sector by MHP company.
