PARAGUAY
DFL is a UK based company which will be operational worldwide. Paraguay is a perfect location for DFL's first operations. The country has low cost, 24/7 baseload green power from the grid. It is a land-locked country with no active railways; therefore, all goods are transported by road, or by the country's fleet of barges which is the 3rd largest in the world.
LOW-COST,ONE-STOP-SHOP SOLUTION
DFL will offer a complete solution to users in Paraguay. DFL will facilitate the use of green hydrogen as a fuel in heavy goods trucks & barges, whilst also providing the production and refueling infrastructure.
Itaipu Dam | Electrolyser | Hydrogen | Dual Fuel |
Refueller | Vehicles |
DFL will engineer an affordable vehicle retrofit and, using Paraguay's low-cost electricity from the national grid, supply low-cost green hydrogen to heavy goods road and barge transportation, differing significantly from the European model.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
DFL is a Green House Capital company, which has the support of both its parent company (Molecular Energies PLC) and its sister company (ATOME Energy PLC), which are listed on the London Stock Exchange and have established businesses in Paraguay including a 120 MW green fertiliser project and oil & gas exploration. Dual Fuel Limited will sell carbon credits through a forward purchase agreement with another Green House Capital company, Aton 6.
ENGINEERING EXPERTISE
DFL has developed its dual fuel engineering with its partner, G-volution which is a leading dual fuel engineering company in the UK. DFL also has engineering support from its Owner's Engineer, AECOM, a Fortune-500 engineering consultancy
with US$13.1 billion of revenue in 2022. 2
DUAL FUEL TECHNOLOGY IN TRUCKS
A Transitional Decarbonisation Solution | H2 |
Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure |
The vehicle can run on diesel only if it runs out of hydrogen, therefore it is not reliant on an extensive hydrogen refuelling network
Exhaust
H2O + CO2 + Energy
This comprises of the emissions of diesel (CO2 + H2O) as well as emissions from hydrogen (H2O). The lower the quantity of diesel
Power Output
The power output of the engine is unchanged and the operation is undetectable by the driver.
Drive Train
There is no additional power or torque which could give rise to drive train damage.
Electronic Systems
The original vehicle ECU continues to operate as it was intended by the OEM and on board diagnostic systems are not affected or compromised.

DUAL FUEL'S DECARBONISATION POTENTIAL
Dual Fuel Engines Commercial Solution can Significantly Reduce Emissions
- Dual Fuel's retrofit technology will reduce emissions & add vehicle range.
- For a fleet of 50 heavy goods land transportation vehicles, a minimum of 1.1 million liters of diesel can be avoided each year, which correlates to 2900 tonnes of CO2.
