Hydrogen is arguably the ideal fuel since its use in internal combustion engines
produces only water.
The current political climate is such that most car manufacturers are designing
hydrogen fuel-cell cars and the buzzword around the world is Hydrogen Economy.
However, here at Omnitek we believe that fuel-cell cars are many years away and
based on the tremendous cost and complexity of such technology may never become
a reality.
Even if fuel-cell cars make it to market, there are still several hundred
million cars in the world that are running on gasoline and diesel, and continue
to pollute.
Initially, it is more likely that gasoline and diesel fueled vehicles will be
converted to burn hydrogen. Vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICEs)
burning hydrogen is a practical and achievable technology to serve as an interim
step to commercialization of fuel-cell vehicles.
The primary advantage hydrogen-fueled ICEs have over fuel-cell vehicles is that
it uses a proven and existing technology. Unlike fuel-cell vehicles, which face
daunting cost barriers and technological challenges, hydrogen-fueled ICE
vehicles could be on the road faster. Hydrogen-fueled ICEs generally employ
various technologies, not unlike technologies developed for vehicles burning
compressed natural gas.
The Omnitek Hydrogen
System and EMS can be retrofit onto gasoline and diesel engines making
it possible for these engine to operate on hydrogen and therefore becoming
near-zero emissions vehicles (NZEV).
