Mining & Earthmoving
When it comes to industrial machinery and equipment, the HYDI unit is the solution for improving environmental impact, which is particularly important in confined work spaces.
DECREASE CARBON PARTICULATE by up to 80%.
At the same time, increases profit by substantially reducing fuel usage.
Immediate Decarbonisation for the Mining Industry
As the global mining industry accelerates toward Net-Zero, the challenge remains: how to reduce the carbon footprint of high-utilisation diesel assets that cannot yet be electrified. HYDI’s Hydrogen Direct Injection (HDI) provides a field-proven, retrofittable solution that reduces fuel consumption and improves air quality across mine sites.
Critical Safety Benefit: 80% DPM Reduction
Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM) is a significant health risk in underground mining and deep-pit operations. Independent testing has verified that HYDI units reduce DPM by up to 80%, drastically improving air quality and reducing the load on mine ventilation systems.
Engineered for Remote & Harsh Environments
Mining equipment operates in some of the most punishing conditions on Earth. The HYDI system is designed to be as rugged as the machines it supports:
- On-Demand Hydrogen: No high-pressure storage or specialized refuelling infrastructure is required. The system produces hydrogen from distilled water only when the engine is running, making it safe for use in explosive environments or remote sites.
- Substantial Fuel Savings: Field trials on heavy haulage and earthmoving equipment consistently show fuel savings of 5% to 14%, providing a rapid return on investment (ROI).
- Extreme Durability: Housed in a 3mm, fully-welded stainless steel casing, our units are vibration-resistant and dust-proof, ensuring reliability on graders, dozers, and haul trucks.
- Compatible with Heavy Engines: Proven performance on CAT, Cummins, Komatsu, and MTU engines ranging from 100hp to over 3000hp.
Mining Fleet Applications
| Asset Type | Operational Advantage |
|---|---|
| Haul Trucks & Loaders | Reduced fuel burn and increased engine torque for steep inclines. |
| Underground Equipment | Significantly cleaner exhaust, reducing ventilation requirements and costs. |
| Excavators & Dozers | Cleaner combustion reduces carbon buildup in oil, extending service life. |
| Power Generation | More efficient base-load power for remote mining camps and processing plants. |

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.
