Diesel+ (Diesel Fuel Additive)

Diesel+ is our proprietary nano-catalytic + advanced molecular chemistry improves atomization and catalyzes a cleaner burn – near-complete burn—so energy goes into motion, not smoke.

Diesel+ is nearly ready for field deployment, a next-gen additive for diesel that helps engines use more of every drop; customers in pilot runs have seen up to 20% better mileage/ efficiency, up to 50% fewer pollutants, and cooler operation that can extend engine life.

1. The Energy Reality

Diesel, jet fuel, and kerosene are the backbone of the global economy. They power trucks, buses, ships, aircraft, generators, agricultural pumps, and heavy industries.

• Global perspective:
  • Total global middle distillate consumption (diesel, jet fuel, kerosene combined) is well over 1.5 billion metric tons per year.
  • These fuels account for about 20% of global final energy demand and produce around 3.5 to 4.0 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.
• India’s perspective:
  • Diesel: 91 million metric tons consumed in FY 2023–24 (≈ 9.1 crore metric tons).
  • Jet fuel (ATF): 9.1 million metric tons consumed (≈ 91 lakh metric tons).
  • Kerosene: 2.4 million metric tons consumed (≈ 24 lakh metric tons).
  • Together, middle distillates = ~102.5 million metric tons (≈ 10.25 crore metric tons) of fuel annually.
  • This represents nearly half of India’s total petroleum product consumption, and the majority of crude oil is imported, costing the exchequer 132 billion US dollars in FY 2023–24.

2. The True Cost of Diesel, Jet Fuel, and Kerosene

Global

• Middle distillates (diesel, jet, kerosene) contribute nearly 10–12% of total global greenhouse gas emissions.
• Diesel exhaust is a Group 1 carcinogen (WHO classification), linked to cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
• Aviation emissions extend beyond carbon dioxide, producing contrails and NOₓ at altitude, amplifying climate impact.
• Kerosene use for lighting and cooking (still significant in developing regions) is a major source of indoor air pollution.

India

• Diesel alone contributes ~290 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually.
• Aviation turbine fuel adds ~29 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, while kerosene adds ~7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide.
• Combined, diesel, jet fuel, and kerosene emit around 326 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year.
• Road transport, dominated by diesel, accounts for over 40% of India’s nitrogen oxide emissions and a large share of urban particulate matter (PM2.5).

3. The Nexerg Breakthrough

What it does:
Diesel+ is a nano-enabled, ash-free additive that improves atomization, keeps injectors clean, and catalyzes complete combustion. The result: less fuel required for the same work and significantly cleaner exhaust.

Primary Benefits

Fuel Economy

• 3–8% improvement across typical duty cycles
• Up to ~20% improvement in steady-state operations after injector clean-up
• Performance depends on engine health (air filters, fuel injectors, maintenance practices)

Carbon Dioxide Reduction

• Falls directly in proportion to fuel saved
• 3–8% typically; up to 20% in optimized fleets

Emission Reductions (engine-out)

• Particulate matter (soot/smoke): ↓ 20–50%
• Carbon monoxide: ↓ 10–20%
• Hydrocarbons: ↓ 20–40%
• Nitrogen oxides: ↓ 0–10% (managed via dosing and timing to avoid penalties)
• No harmful secondary pollutants

4. National-Scale Impact (India Example)

If India adopts Diesel+ across diesel, jet fuel, and kerosene and achieves a 15% nationwide saving:

• Fuel saved:
  • Diesel: 91 million metric tons × 15% = 13.65 million metric tons (~1.365 crore metric tons)
  • Jet fuel: 9.1 million metric tons × 15% = 1.37 million metric tons (~13.7 lakh metric tons)
  • Kerosene: 2.4 million metric tons × 15% = 0.36 million metric tons (~3.6 lakh metric tons)
  • Total fuel saved = 15.4 million metric tons (~1.54 crore metric tons)
  • Equivalent to ~18.5 billion litres of middle distillates avoided annually.
• Carbon dioxide avoided:
  • Diesel: ~43.8 million metric tons CO₂ avoided
  • Jet fuel: ~4.3 million metric tons CO₂ avoided
  • Kerosene: ~1.0 million metric tons CO₂ avoided
  • Total = ~49 million metric tons of CO₂ avoided annually
• Foreign exchange savings:
  • At a crude import bill of 132 billion US dollars, middle distillates represent nearly half.
  • A 15% reduction in this segment saves ~8 to 9 billion US dollars annually (≈ ₹67,000 crore).
• Domestic economic relief:
  • At retail pump prices of ~₹88 per litre for diesel, saving ~18.5 billion litres represents a spend relief of ~₹1.6 lakh crore annually for businesses, farmers, and households.
• Air-quality benefits:
  • Nitrogen oxides: ~0.2 million metric tons avoided per year
  • Particulate matter: 20–50% reduction in vehicle exhaust emissions
  • Direct improvement in urban air quality, public health, and reduced healthcare costs.

5. Secondary Economic Upsides

• Lower logistics costs → lower inflation: Diesel and ATF are embedded in every good and service. Savings directly ease CPI inflation.
• Export competitiveness: Cheaper logistics reduce landed costs of manufactured exports.
• Health and productivity: Cleaner air lowers disease burden and lost workdays.
• Fleet uptime: Cleaner injectors and soot-free after-treatment systems reduce maintenance and downtime.

6. How the Technology Works

• Nano-catalytic sites: Each fuel droplet burns more completely.
• Smart dispersants: Keep sprays fine, injectors clean, no coking deposits.
• Thermal smoothing: Lowers hotspots, reduces stress on engines, stabilizes flame temperature.

Result: More useful work. Less waste. Cleaner air.

7. Dose & Use

• Dose: ~10 ppm (≈ 10 milligrams per litre)
• Range: 5–20 ppm depending on sulphur/aromatic content of the fuel
• Integration: Dosed at refineries or depots — no hardware changes required
• Compatibility:
  • Ultra-Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD): ≤ 15 ppm sulphur
  • BS-VI fuel: India’s Euro 6-equivalent standard
  • Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF): traps soot; additive is ash-free and DPF-safe
  • Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR): urea/AdBlue-based NOₓ control; additive is SCR-safe
