The world’s environmental concerns are overwhelming. While fossil fuels are foreseen to dry up in about 50 years, the very dependence on this energy source is increasing the levels of greenhouse gases.

Eneco, however, is changing all these. The water and fuel technology specialist has discovered a way to dilute fossil fuels such as light oil, kerosene, heavy oil and biodiesel fuel with water and still deliver the same energy output as the original fuel.

Technically, the water addition rate has reached 87.5 per cent, but it is at 50 per cent on the actual product application level at the moment.

The first of its kind in the world, the Eneco Plasma Fusion Fuel has been approved by Japan’s rigorous environmental standards and is already in practical use in buses, trucks and industrial equipment.

The technology’s reputation has also reached overseas. In Indonesia, for instance, the navy and one major oil company, are already using the breakthrough emulsion fuel. Besides its cost-effectiveness, the Eneco Plasma Fusion Fuel also cuts carbon emissions by more than 50 per cent.

“For the future of our planet, each one of us must think carefully about what we can do to combat global warming and take resolute action,” says Yasuhiro Yamamoto, president and CEO of Eneco. “By switching away from fossil fuels and into the creation of environmentally friendly energy, we seek to dramatically decrease the emission of environmentally active exhaust gases.”

As a testament to this commitment, the company has also developed the Eneco Plasma R Hydrogen Gas from ordinary tap and well water. Created through low energy and low temperature reaction employing a waste catalyst developed by the company in-house, Eneco Gas is comparable to liquefied natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and shale gas. The innovation is 50 per cent cheaper to produce compared to conventional gas products, and reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulphur oxide (SOx), by as much as 50 per cent.
