Australian Dual-Fuel™ Market

With over 166 Dual-Fuel™ vehicles currently in service throughout the country, hauling between 50T and 150T payloads, Dual-Fuel™ technology has been proven in Australian conditions over the last 5 years. Clean Air Power engineers have processed millions of kilometers of invaluable feedback to develop the current robust Dual-Fuel™ technology now available to Australian fleet operators.

High energy users need to register with the Department of Climate Change by August 31 and start measuring their carbon footprint ahead of the greenhouse gas reporting deadline. The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Act 2007, requires that individual facilities producing 25kt of carbon dioxide or consuming 100TJ or more of energy, or corporate groups emitting 125kt of carbon dioxide or consuming 500TJ or more of energy, begin reporting on energy consumption, production and greenhouse gas emissions with the first lodgement required by October 31.

Clean Air Power can help transport operators reduce carbon fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, enquire now.

Our patented Dual-Fuel™ technology enables diesel engines to operate with the low emission and cost benefits of natural gas, whilst retaining the inherent power, efficiency and long life characteristics of compression ignition engines.

Clean Air Power is a member of the following organisations:

• The Natural Gas Vehicle Association in Australia
• The Asia Pacific Natural Gas Vehicle Association

Reduce your Vehicle Costs and Emissions

Dual-Fuel™ technology uses patented electronic control of diesel pilot injection to ignite a controlled pre-mixed charge of natural gas and air. Dual-Fuel™ engines feature an Engine Control Unit (ECU) developed by Clean Air Power and the diesel Electronic Control Module (ECM) to precisely control diesel, natural gas and air mixtures to optimize combustion, performance and emissions.

Reduction of Greenhouse gases (GHG), particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are achievable, along with reduced fleet operating costs using Dual-Fuel™ technology.
