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. 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, operators of trucks, busses, rails and other combustion engines can increase their profitability and decrease
their impact on the environment.
