About Us
Jacques Bouvy is the founder and an engineer by training. He has been working in various fields of industries. Jack is a strong entrepreneur-minded person.

After several years within big companies, Jacques has decided to try and make a difference on the carbon emission reduction using is mechanic background as an asset.


Problem we are solving
The retrofit industry is emerging for diesel engines, but in most cases such conversion provokes a reduction of power levels between 20% to 30%. Using our patented approach, we can generate actually a little more power while remaining as sufficient as diesel engines, and all this without any pollution.

Sustainable Impact on Blue Ecconomy
Reduction of NOx emission and pollution levels for big boat engines.
