The Zero-Emissions Engine Is Here

The Zero Emissions Engine Is Here W. David Jollymore | GreenElectric Power Corp

Hydrogen combustion and fuel cell technology have been commercially deployed. This is not a forecast.

Railroads, ocean-going vessels, underground mining equipment, and high-throughput warehouse forklifts are running on hydrogen today — not in pilot programs, but in revenue service and production operations. The engineering case for each application follows the same logic: captive infrastructure, enclosed or emissions-controlled environments, high duty cycles where downtime carries real cost, and operational profiles where hydrogen's energy density and rapid refueling outperform battery alternatives at scale.

This book was written by an engineer who has worked at the electrolyzer level — not from the policy floor or the investment deck. The Zero Emissions Engine Is Here examines hydrogen combustion and fuel cell systems with the precision those technologies require: thermodynamic efficiency comparisons, production pathway trade-offs, storage and distribution engineering, HHO combustion enhancement data, and a clear-eyed assessment of where hydrogen genuinely performs and where the industry continues to oversell itself.

If you are making technical, procurement, or investment decisions in the hydrogen space, the most expensive thing you can do is work from information built on marketing assumptions. This book is built on 20 years of direct field experience — beginning with electrolyzer development work alongside Canadian hydrogen pioneer Bill Ross — and presents verified engineering data without the commercial agenda that distorts most publicly available hydrogen content.

What this book covers:

• Hydrogen combustion engine and fuel cell technology versus internal combustion — real efficiency and emissions data

• Production methods: steam methane reforming, electrolysis, and biomass gasification — with accurate environmental accounting

• HHO combustion enhancement: the engineering reality, confirmed applications, and why the automotive sector is not a viable market

• Compressed, liquid, and solid-state hydrogen storage — engineering specifications and trade-offs

• Hybrid hydrogen system design and grid integration

• Policy, economic, and infrastructure barriers — analyzed technically, not politically

This book is for engineers, technical leads, fleet operators, and procurement professionals who need accurate data — not a narrative.
