Help on way for Portuguese Fishing Fleets with hydrogen-based product
BOWMANVILLE, ON, June 6 /PRNewswire/ - Hydrogen Hybrid
Technologies Inc. President Ira Lyons announced that preparations are now
underway for installations of the patented Hydrogen Fuel Injection (HFI)
system on the one of Testa & Cunhas, SA fishing vessels in Portugal.
Innovative fishing executive A. Miguel Cunha of Testa & Cunhas, SA had
exhaustively researched technologies that can help save fuel costs and began
discussing the adaptability of the HFI system to his fishing fleet a number of
months ago.
The fishing industry, particularly in Portugal and Spain has been under
great pressure with the rising fuel costs and have recently been forced to
'strike' for lower fuel costs or higher prices for their fish harvest. "After
meeting with Mr. Cunha both in Portugal and at facilities in Canada, we are
pleased to work with such an established organization in assisting them in
re-establishing their profit margins that continue to be eroded by increasing
fuel costs.", said Mr. Lyons.
Based on the anticipated success of the first installations, the parties
have already begun preliminary discussions regarding the potential of Mr.
Cunha acquiring the distribution rights for various markets and regions in
Portugal and Spain.
HFI technology is installed as an add-on to diesel and gasoline engines
where it significantly reduces a wide variety of emissions (CO, PM, HC, CO(2)
and NOx) while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption. HFI units are being
used by over 150 fleets of long-haul transport trucks, ambulances, municipal
buses and other heavy equipment, earning HFI the dominant position as the
world's most widely-used on-board electrolysers. The technology is based on
electrolysis and the units split water, on-board the vehicle, then vent the
hydrogen and oxygen directly into the air intake of the engine. Adding
hydrogen significantly improves the efficiency of combustion, in the engine,
with significant financial and environmental benefits.
HFI is distributed through the world's largest retail distribution network
for any hydrogen product, with over 140 Certified Installation Centres all
across Canada, the United States, Mexico, Korea and the United Kingdom.
Geographical distribution has been expanded during 2008 and units are
installed in Europe and South America. The product is the first emission
control technology to receive "Environmental Technology Verification" (ETV) by
the Canadian government and the first hydrogen technology to receive ETV
recognition anywhere in the world.
Company President, Ira Lyons, said "The formal launch of the HFI
technology in the fishing fleet sector opens another chapter in the expansion
of the most cost-effective emissions control technology in the world. This
market posseses a massive potential market for our products and we are pleased
to be working with such a progressive organization," Lyons added.
