Ethanol Engine Conversion
No spark plugs or glow plugs. No fuel additives or dual fuels. ClearFlame’s technology modifies traditional diesel-style compression engines, unlocking them to use a wide range of simple, clean, renewable, liquid fuels. Easily integrated into existing engines or new engine production flow, this technology provides the fastest and lowest cost path to decarbonization for hard-to-electrify, heavy-duty industries without fundamentally changing how engines perform.
The innovation behind ClearFlame’s technology lies in high-temperature mixing controlled compression ignition or MCCI. Put simply, ClearFlame can create an environment where any low-soot fuel will behave like diesel fuel—with a short ignition delay and typical burn. These simple, renewable fuels—like ethanol and methanol—are produced widely, available globally, and offer reduced emissions and lower cost than traditional fossil fuels.
Providing the same performance users expect, fossil-free.
