The U.S.-based Hydrogen Engine Center, Inc. designs, manufactures and distributes alternative fuel internal combustion engines for the industrial, distributed and standby power generation markets. HEC representatives recently spoke with numerous interested parties at the Power-Gen International show in Orlando, Florida about other applications for the new 7.5L engine including power generation, hybrid electric vehicles, irrigation and other industrial applications.

HEC chief operating officer Bob Morrison said, ‘With UNIDO-ICHET working to facilitate an educational and technological exchange between developing and developed nations, we are charged with creating and delivering commercial engine technology. We are very pleased to have this opportunity to work with Labranda. It demonstrates the viability of developing new power systems and energy sources as part of a global initiative to employ clean and renewable energy sources.”

With a newly built manufacturing plant, Hydrogen Engine Center, Inc is able to quickly manufacture and ship alternative fuel engines to previously untapped markets. Over time, the company expects the marine industry to have a high demand for alternative fuels and non-carbon based emission engines.

Joe E. Lewis, III, vice president of engine sales at HEC added, ‘When it comes to alternative fuel technologies, the marine engine market is wide open for significant new business development. At HEC, we are focused on developing the worldwide market for reliable, site specific, renewable power generation and alternative fuel internal combustion engines. The marine engine industry segment is a prime example of how our engine and fuel technologies can serve a diverse marketplace.’
