Sustainable Farming: Hydrogen Power for Agricultural Machinery
Modern farming demands high power and high efficiency. As diesel prices fluctuate and environmental standards tighten, HYDI provides Australian farmers with a practical, retrofittable solution to lower operating costs and reduce the carbon footprint of their primary production assets.
Why Hydrogen for Agriculture?
HYDI units produce hydrogen on-demand using only distilled water and a small amount of power from your machine’s alternator. This gas is injected into the air intake to ensure a faster, more complete combustion of diesel fuel.
- Significant Fuel Savings: Reduce diesel consumption by 5% to 14%—critical for high-usage machinery like broadacre tractors and harvesters.
- Reduced Maintenance: Cleaner combustion means less carbon buildup in the engine and oil. This leads to cleaner filters and potentially extended service intervals for your hard-working equipment.
- Lower Emissions: Decrease Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) and greenhouse gases, helping your farm meet green certification standards and ESG goals.
- No Infrastructure Required: Unlike fuel-cell tractors, HYDI produces its own hydrogen. There is no need for expensive on-farm hydrogen storage tanks or specialised refuelling logistics.
Applications Across the Farm
| Equipment Type | Primary Benefit |
|---|---|
| Tractors & Harvesters | Maximum fuel efficiency during high-torque operations (seeding/tilling). |
| Irrigation Pumping Sets | Significant cost reduction for stationary diesel pumps running 24/7. |
| Farm Logistics (Trucks) | Improved fuel economy for grain haulage and livestock transport. |
| On-Site Power Gen | Cleaner, more efficient power for remote sheds and workshops. |
Future-Proof Your Farming Operation
Don’t wait for expensive electric machinery that can’t handle a full day’s work. Retrofit your current diesel fleet with HYDI and start saving from the next harvest.

The HYDI Unit
The HYDI unit is a sophisticated but simple to use Hydrogen on demand system. It uses distilled water
and low voltage electricity from the electrical system of the vehicle or plant to produce Hydrogen.
The HYDI unit does not store Hydrogen and employs a number of safety features to prevent Hydrogen
being generated if the engine is not running.
There are no chemicals or additives used in the HYDI unit.
Just pure water.
The HYDI unit uses Bluetooth Applications to display the status on the operation of the unit on
an Android phone or tablet in real time.

Benefits
The HYDI Hydrogen on demand system supplies hydrogen gas to the engine
intake to supplement diesel fuel. The controlled addition of hydrogen into
the engine improves combustion efficiency.
This has the effect of reducing fuel consumption and to reducing carbon and
greenhouse gas exhaust emissions.
