Welcome to the definitive guide to the ‘resident experts’ on the HUB. Check them out on their Pod, and take a peek at their LinkedIn and website, or contact them direct.
ULEMCo – The Ultra Low Emission Company
ULEMCo delivers achievable zero-carbon hydrogen fuel innovations, to help businesses and organisations achieve their net zero ambitions.
The company’s core hydrogen dual-fuel product and service (H2ICED®) involves upgrading customer vehicles and equipment to enable them to operate with between 30-50% of the energy coming from hydrogen. This is achieved by installing onboard fuel storage, hydrogen gas injectors in the engine, and ULEMCo’s proprietary engine control system.
Every kilogram of hydrogen used will save approximately 8 kg of C02e, thereby offering substantial GHG emission reduction without loss of productivity. This is achieved at an affordable capital cost, unlike solutions such as battery technology which cost at least 2 or 3 times the price of the diesel equivalents. This upgrade approach is really well suited to ‘back to base’ assets that are likely to be in the fleet for more than five years, and use power take-off or heavy loads such as in utility applications, waste collection, highways maintenance and other heavy-duty uses.
In the pipeline, ULEMCo is working on full zero-emission alternatives based on hydrogen fuel cell range extension modules (FCRx®). These will provide the opportunity for increasing the utility and flexibility of specialist eHGV.
