Motor Tech HHO- Decarbornisation

Our company is specialized in cleaning carbon deposits of any engine and entire combustion systems through innovative hydrogen -based treatments that reduces fuel costs and lower harmful emissions. 

Kenya's logistics/transport industry has significantly evolved over the decades and its demand is constantly growing and projected to have a stable increase of 23% by the year 2030. This sector becomes an intriguing one due to the high dependency that it creates on all our social and economical activities in Kenya. The evolution has seen us move  to roads being more than 80% of Kenya's transport mode. This shift has improved the economics and social activities significantly due to the flexibility, reliability and affordability of this method in comparison to other modes of transport. In the same sector, there has been a constantly increasing trend in the costing of fuel per litter to facilitate the operations of social and economical activities  as well as an increase in harmful exhaust emissions gradually for the period of more than the last 3 decades while these social and economic activities are being met. The transport sector is the largest consumer of petroleum products in Kenya and hence a major contributor to GHG emissions. In 2015, the sector accounted for about 67% of Kenya’s energy-related CO2 emissions and 11.3% of Kenya’s total GHG emissions for fuel consumption in civil aviation, road transport and rail.

. These two trends have a scalable effect getting in mind that 93% of essential services and produce depend on Motor road transportation and happen repeatedly. The effects of this trends are; the business costing of operations tend to be high, thus a repulsive cost in access of basic need such as food, health and other essential products, in turn the constant  emissions which lead to issues of acidic rains, drought, global warming and respiratory diseases to the communities within this areas. This ripple effect of the motor  transport mode affects more than 30 million Kenyans directly and indirectly.  

A lot of attention and various innovative solutions have been suggested to meet this challenge in the  transport industry, solutions based on the implementation of electric vehicles have been suggested including piloting phases but a gap still exists in the sense that the machines that use fuel are still dominant in the industry and phasing them out would take more that 3 decades  and as a developing country  Kenya is still in the bid to develop electricity systems that can support such electricity demand.. Our company is then able to meet the gap before this transition  through the use of effective-hydrogen treatment where we are able to clean the deposits of carbon in the engine and the combustion system, this carbon is responsible for the high fuel consumption rate per kilometer covered and as well contributes to the harmful emissions that are done to the environment. A working process is that we  simply insert the hose of the machine into the air intake manifold, start both the engine and the machine and when the hydrogen is pumped in it increases the octane levels of the fuel and burns through the whole hydrocarbon deposits in the engine and the combustion system

The solution at hand impacts a nationwide target population when implemented on a large scale, this is because we are tracking an industry that has ripple effects to the whole country's population. The most immediate beneficiaries being; the business community of the transport/logistics sector which will reduce its cost of fuels have profits to sustain themselves long enough in the market thus creating a place for economic growth, the prices of essential services and products are able to reduce in costing propagating social well being. With the reduced overall emissions of harmful gases this has a ripple effect to benefit the health of the population. This improves the human resources potential in turn increasing economic and social development, improves the climate conditions for practicing's agriculture and has the community preventing cases of drought and food security. 

My team has undergone vigorous training in the aspects of business management from scholarships in institutions like European business University and also received a master program in the building of impact investment cases at the virtual training of a program Impact Amplifier that did run for a period of 6 months. The training and constant working with the division of Research, Innovation and Outreach of the KCA university has given us real-time interactions with the community that we want to serve and developed more sense to execute our innovations, improved our soft skills and also our hard skills. In this division we have consulted for companies on how to have them sustainable and as well as interactions with youth groups that are affected directly. Training being just a tip of the ice berg my team is fascinated and intrinsically motivated in the development and implementation of impact oriented programs and driving change to the community. I believe the team has the potential to let this go through due to their adaptability, resilience and ability to learn and receive and respond to feedback.

To understand the needs of our potential users ( distribution companies, matatu saccos, individuals)  we have conducted multiple research and test reports with them to show them the need to decarbonize their mobility system so as to benefit them and the environment. 

We have as well volunteered into the KCA University division of Research, Innovation and outreach to help out in a bid to redefine sustainability, and add upon our existing knowledge and years of research from the university. 

Working with a big umbrella body in the Country Ruaraka Business Community (RUBICOM) has impacted our steps in the full scale length of this, receiving critical and real-time data from them as a umbrella's body of companies that are setup in a community. 

We have held meetings with Government Bodies such as Youth Development Fund, Kenya National Highway Agencies representatives to see how such an innovation would get incorporated as a policy in the structure of the government to increase its adoption and scalability.

The innovative nature of our solution is it's ability to use hydrogen to clean the carbon foot prints in the engine and the combustion system, the machine we use has the capacity to produce lots of hydrogen capable of cleaning hefty tracks and overall transport mediums such as aero planes and ships. What gives us an upper hand in the problem is the change of approach that we have used, to solve the problem of emissions and fuel with the existing dominant motor engine designs. We could be the catalytic player in the decarbonization of the transports industry putting it in mind that we are favorably cost effective and easily implementable  compared to other models being proposed such as shifting to electric based transport sector. With large scale application of this project we have the capability to reduce the carbon emitted in the transport industry at a significant overall percent and direct the saved money from cost of fuel into more economics inclusion and growth

Our impact goals are

To decarbonize a total of 50,000 tracks in logistics within the next one year. the companies we are currently in contact with at the RUBICOM aggregated have a distribution resource of more than 150,000 tracks. 

Reduce a total carbon emissions by 25% in the Ruaraka community in the period of one year. we will measure the current produced carbon in Ruaraka then measure it after end of year

Save the economy an average fuel cost of about KSH 70,140,000/ from the 50,000 tracks that we will have decarbonized.- how? if the 50,000 trucks cover a total of 140,000 km a day- spend a 1 liter per every 10km. thus means a total fuel consumption of 14,000 liters a day. Through decarbonization we shift it to 1 liter per every 12km thus means a total fuel consumption of 11,667 liters. (14,000 - 11,667) = save of 2,333 liters a day. if we reduce this per day the in a period of 180 days =420,000 liters. fuel cost is at (420,000 *ksh 167) = save KSH 70,140,000. 

Run a sustainability campaign all through the nation of Kenya to champion the decarbonization of the public services transport system. 

our core technology is in clean tech machinery with the above type of technology that is integrated with three generators that generate hydrogen and mix it with oxygen  to clean the engine system of the car. This is the only technology that exits in our markets and is patented for the same. 

currently serving 2 clients with access to  distribution tracks of 250.

in an years time should serve 30 manufacturing companies with a total distribution tracks of 50,000 trucks. 

The barriers that affect us from impacting most of our goals for the next year are unfavorable  policy, inefficient of full government support, inadequate civic education on the use of hydrogen to clean carbon to the  and restore fuel consumption significantly to the community at large. Financial mussel to execute the project at a large scope so as to attain maximum impact from the innovation. 

We have a current partnership with an organization by the name RUBICOM this is an organization that acts as an umbrella body to more than 150 manufacturing companies that have integrated distribution into their systems and are located in Ruaraka Nairobi Kenya, the organization being our direct link to there existing members and a link to it's pre existing  networks and experience. 

The business' model that we use to run this impact based model is as follows;

 Value creation- we reduce your operational cost on fuel at the same time reducing the rate of emissions that have during the logistics process. 

key customers- logistics companies that have huge tracks of vehicles

channels - through referral and in door meetings with the key stakeholder.

revenue- a percentage share of the fuel cost saved in the daily operations and open grants support to reduce carbon emissions. 

key Activities - the identification this companies, pitching the concept, running the test, advance partnership, fuel and carbon tracking.

key resources- mechanical engineers, decarbonization machine and power source for the process. 

key partners - RUBICOM, 

Our revenue model involves grants and competition awards, the main sources of income generation being through the sharer ratio that we pick from the total saved fuel cost while dealing with large numbers of tracks. When dealing with few tracks we majorly run by individuals we charger decarbonization per car. Consultation on how to become a sustainable business gives revenue as well.
