A UNIVERSAL SOLUTION
We’re Changing the Way the World is Powered
People know about “internal combustion” and “electric” power, but there is a third choice. It’s the ultra-efficient CHP (Combined Heat and Pressure) engine which can burn any petroleum fuel, or hydrogen.
The result? A lower cradle-to-grave environmental impact than any other powertrain, including electric.
Best of all, CHP is fully scalable to replace any engine in any use, making it a universal solution, as opposed to a niche alternative like electric.

ADOPTION of TECHNOLOGY
Unlike any other technology, our patented engine design is a global environmental solution which can be adopted quickly, easily, and inexpensively.
How is this possible? Our CHP engine can be seamlessly manufactured in existing engine plants, with existing processes, machines and labor. It is also scalable, so that it can be installed in any mobile or stationary product which already has an engine.
Made of 100% locally recycled benign materials, the environmental damage normally caused by mining, transportation and related material processing is eliminated. Manufacturing power use can be reduced up to 90%, which further reduces environmental impact.
With a low cost of adoption and production, as well as seamless product installation, governments no longer have to fund subsidies in an effort to create demand. Instead consumers retain their right of free choice in the marketplace, while improving the environment.

THE GLOBAL MARKET
Our CHP engines are designed to rapidly and economically replace every fuel engine in every market segment. Uses would include everything from lawn mowers, cars, and industrial equipment, to train locomotives in size.
How big is the global market? There were 198,641,000 new fuel engines sold in 2023, rising to 216,995,430 units sold in 2024. Sales are projected to reach 480,712,930 units by 2033. Notably, the 9.24% rapid compound annual growth rate projected from 2024 to 2033 is organic, driven by free-choice consumer purchases. The global value of these sales is estimated to be worth US$ 5.1 Billion in 2024, and projected to exceed US$ 6.1 billion annually by 2029 while retaining a 92% market share.
In respect to the replacement engine market, 1.4 Billion fuel powered vehicles are on the road worldwide. With an average 8 year service life, each vehicle may potentially be re-powered with a CHP replacement engine, which represents a trillion dollar opportunity in that market alone.
With CHP being in the same SULEV (super ultra low emissions vehicle) category as electric cars, but with a significantly lower purchase price, and superior range/power capability, consumers may also view it as a viable alternative to electric.

THE SCIENCE
There are two configurations of CHP. First, is the legacy definition of CHP, which is “Combined Heat and Power”. This is where the power generated by an engine is supplemented by the application of combustion heat to perform other “work”, such as heating a building. None of the combustion heat energy is used in the engine to improve operating efficiency or reduce emissions.
The second, advanced definition of CHP, is “Combined Heat and Pressure”. This is where the heat and pressure of fuel combustion are inventively combined by a patented method, within an engine to achieve optimal operating efficiency and reduce emissions. Any under-utilized heat can be scavenged and used in the legacy manner of “heat and power”, thereby forming a highly efficient two-stage heat use configuration.
What is the advantage of fuel over batteries? The overall environmental impact of a CHP engine is minimal. CHP engines are made of recycled materials, in existing factories, and can be installed in new, as well as many used vehicles. All of the fuel infrastructure already exists, so it does not require trillions of taxpayer dollars to fund new infrastructure adoption, as with electric. CHP engines seamlessly integrate with the existing fuel infrastructure so adoption is quick and inexpensive.
Most persuasively, fuel has a higher energy density than any electric battery, current or theoretical. In an average electric vehicle the battery is 1,000 pounds of dead weight, whether charged or not. It takes a lot of energy to move that much weight. In contrast, as little as 25 to 50 pounds of fuel can power an equivalent vehicle the same distance, with the same power.
A CLEAN SHEET APPROACH LEADS TO BREAK-THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
Conventional internal combustion and electric powertrain technologies are fundamentally derived from legacy architectures with inherent thermodynamic and structural limitations. In contrast, clean-sheet engineering methodology enabled CHP Engines to remove legacy design constraints and engineer an advanced process to optimize the power of fuel.
The first design phase involved identifying the result of fuel combustion, which according to the United States Department of Energy, is generally 30% pressure and 70% heat. Phase two involved the design of an engine that would optimize the integration, and utilization, of those combustion results.
In a conventional engine, pressure is used to push a piston, to provide vehicle propulsion, while the thermal component of combustion is dissipated as unused, wasted energy through exhaust and cooling systems. From an economic perspective, over half the money spent on fuel is wasted because heat energy is discharged into the atmosphere by all current internal combustion engines, regardless of make, model or design. In short, if a person buys $100 of fuel, $50 of it does nothing.
Therefore, the engineering objective was to integrate and utilize both pressure and thermal energy released during combustion to maximize the utilization of fuel energy toward mechanical power. Through this integrated thermodynamic approach, the patented CHP Engine technological innovation significantly improves energy utilization, with improved fuel economy, greater engine power density, and only minuscule trace emissions.
Comparatively, where conventional gasoline engines achieve approximately 30% energy-to-power conversion efficiency and modern diesel engines reach roughly 40%, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) believes that a combined heat/pressure design may perform at double the efficiency of internal combustion.
