The process has started via its production partner in Victoria, which it will use for field testing on potential customers’ sites.
Due to be completed in March, H2i is planning trials with five potential customers with multiple diesel engines across the steel manufacturing, agriculture, construction, mining and hospitality and tourism industries.
David Vinson, Chairman of H2i Technology, said, “Once the on-site testing is complete, we are confident we will be able to convert these field-testing agreements into sales contracts and begin working with customers to decarbonise their diesel value chain.”
Successful trials in 2022 showed diesel engines using its system could reduce carbon emissions by 300 tonnes per year and potentially cut fuel usage by up to 20%, leading to enquiries from across the globe.
Vinson claimed four of the companies H2i is conducting field testing with are based in Australia, with another in the Middle East.
He said, “Businesses worldwide are very interested in the fact our system can significantly extend the operational life, reduce emissions, cut fuel costs and optimise the efficiency of their existing diesel infrastructure.”
The company says it will develop its software further, so it has utility in mobility diesel engines and other fuel sources, which will be ready-for-market for off-road vehicles midway through 2023 and on-road vehicles by the end of the year.
H2i announced the technology was being progressed last year, in its facility in Melbourne, Australia.
The Australian company ran trials with a stationary generator to collect data and confirm the emissions reduction and diesel fuel savings.
A Successful Ecosystem for Green Hydrogen – London
It is becoming ever clearer that the entire green hydrogen ecosystem requires alignment. Hydrogen’s potential, performance, and safety are proven. Green hydrogen is widely accepted as a core pathway to Net Zero, yet the key levers in the transition are not yet in-sync.
At H2 View we recognise the increasingly challenging economic climate that various countries/economies are currently facing. We want to help as many companies as possible in the hydrogen space to achieve their needs as competitively and logically as possible. As a result, we felt it was a compelling decision to relocate our previously planned event in Iceland, to a venue in London.
Join H2 View in London, one of the foremost investment capitals of the world, for a 1.5-day event devoted to thought leadership, insights, and actionable takeaways in the green hydrogen ecosystem, combined with the connections and networking to deliver against those objectives.
This H2 View hydrogen summit is dedicated to dissecting the ecosystem requirements to truly realise a green hydrogen-fuelled future across industries, transport, and society. This event will tackle all sides of the energy ecosystem, from wind and solar power requirements to additionality, water sustainability, electrolyser technologies, and investment and policy climate.
