Terra Fuel Technologies Holdings Pty Limited
seed capital ($295k): an ethanol/diesel injection technology that, as well as substituting a renewable fuel, reduces emissions and improves both torque and horsepower.
In Q406, the company has been granted access Q107 to facilities for scientific validation at the University of Michigan, an internationally recognised automotive research facility and a U.S. Army Centre of Excellence for advancing automotive technology.
Queensland based tests on a new intercooled turbo diesel truck, and a 15 year old turbo diesel tip truck, have demonstrated improvements in torque and horsepower and a lowering of emissions, a significant result achieved by substituting diesel with the renewable fuel ethanol.
A recent International Patent Co-operation Treaty Preliminary Report on Patentability issued a statement that deemed 17 of 24 claims to be 'novel' and the technology 'inventive'.
In Q107 the company is focused on: seeking a further investment round to fund Australian and North American commercialisation strategies.
