H2 + Diesel
Performance gains for thermal power plants through hydrogen-enriched diesel
Looking to unlock economic and environmental value by reducing emissions, but capital investment is a barrier? hubz has a solution
Energy for an exponentially growing demand
​Replacing the fossil fuel value chain requires strategic investment in innovation
​
Global energy consumption has increased by 801% in the past 50 years compared to the previous five decades. By 2070, energy demand is expected to be six times higher than it is today.
​
To meet this soaring demand and to achieve global goals for energy transition and net-zero emissions investment needs are projected at USD 345 billion by 2030. One of the main areas of focus is hydrogen, valued for being a renewable, versatile, storable, and transportable energy source.
​
In Brazil, the National Hydrogen Program is assessing the country’s potential for hydrogen use as an energy source and identifying the key barriers to its widespread adoption. National strategies and those focused on high-emission sectors are a priority, but major technological, cost, and capital expenditure (CAPEX) challenges remain.
...How can hydrogen-enriched diesel help overcome these challenges?
Companies that rely on fossil fuels are looking for ways to meet two pressing goals: cutting emissions and controlling costs, especially capital expenditures.
Enriching diesel with hydrogen has proven to be a viable alternative that combines emissions reduction with the use of existing infrastructure, helping delay the need for major new investments.
...What hubz can deliver for you?
Core innovation
Introducing a small percentage of hydrogen into diesel fuel, without requiring engine replacements. This hydrogen-enriched blend reduces the volume of diesel needed while achieving nearly complete combustion, improving the efficiency of energy conversion and cutting COâ‚‚ and NOx emissions all while continuing to use standard diesel engines.
Applications and benefits
