HP HCNG

HPGRDC developed HCNG Technology for generating Hydrogen-Enriched

CNG Gas. Feedstocks, such as Natural Gas, Methane, Compressed Natural
Gas, Compressed Bio Gas, etc., are used to produce hydrogen from these

molecules to produce low carbon CNG alternative. The HCNG, can be used
in CNG applications without significant mechanical modifications.
Advantages include zero Carbon Dioxide release, and reduced auxillary

emissions compared to conventional CNG, serving as an interim
decarbonization solution. The process generates high-value carbon

nanotubes and utilizes low-value spent catalyst from the refinery,
contributing to a circular economy. Notably, the process is water-free,
enhancing its sustainability over other technologies.

Flexi-Fuel

Converting engines to flex fuel operation, accommodating higher ethanol

blends in gasoline, offers several Net Zero benefits. Ethanol, derived from
renewable sources like corn or sugarcane, reduces overall carbon emissions

by promoting cleaner combustion. This transition also enhances energy
security by diversifying fuel sources. Additionally, it encourages sustainable
agriculture practices, fostering rural development. As a renewable and

domestically produced fuel, flex fuel adoption contributes to mitigating
climate change, aligning with global efforts to achieve net-zero emissions.

Overall, this transition promotes environmental sustainability, energy
independence, and a reduced carbon footprint in the transportation sector.
