OVERVIEW
Hydrogen Developed
Technology Inc. (HDTI) is a privately held Canadian company located in Ontario - just east
of Toronto. HDTI manufactures one
of the world's safest and most reliable on-board hydrogen generating system. This cutting edge technology provides combustion
enhancement for any four stroke engine using any hydrocarbon fuel including biodiesel, diesel, ethanol, gasoline, propane
and natural gas. The technology was developed by William Ross – President of HDTI. The product offers
all the benefits inherent with the use of hydrogen but without the safety, storage and infrastructure issues related to hydrogen
fuel cells. The "fuel" for this technology is simple distilled water meaning low cost, no maintenance operation
in a product designed to last for well over a decade.
The benefits from using
this product are impressive. The combustion enhancement results in a noticeable increase in torque and horsepower, reduced
engine maintenance expenses, longer engine life and improved fuel economy, which varies by engine condition and fuel
type. Most importantly, emissions of carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, hydrocarbons, particulate matter, nitrogen oxide and
green house gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide are dramatically reduced. The reduction in GHGs offers a potentially significant
long-term revenue stream when converted into emission credits which can be traded in an organized market. With the enactment
of the Kyoto Protocol and the increasing pressures on governments around the world to improve the environment, it is conceivable
that the value of the credits might easily equal or exceed the revenue derived by selling the HDTI units.
The market for this product is massive. Governments and industries are trying to find economical
solutions to the energy and environment crises facing all countries today. While literally billions of dollars have been spent
on R&D on a wide range of emission control and engine efficiency technologies, including a variety of other applications
of
hydrogen including
fuel cells and hydrogen internal combustion engines (ICE). To date, there are relatively few products that have reached the
point of commercial viability. The most aggressive forecasts for the commercialization of fuel cells, for example, suggests
that it won't happen for at least another 5 to 15 years. At the same time, those few technologies that have reached the market,
such as particulate filters, bio-diesel fuels and selective catalytic reduction, all come at a price premium and either requires
extensive and expensive, ongoing maintenance or else they decrease engine efficiency.
In short, the market has had to choose between environmental pressures and fiscal pressures. With the HDTI
technology truck, bus, rail and other operators can increase their profitability and decrease their impact on the environment.
