TRANSITION CANNOT BE ACHIEVED BY FORCE
Hydrogen for reliable renewables
Producing, storing, and distributing hydrogen is already technically mature — the remaining challenge is scale. The true breakthrough lies in how efficiently hydrogen can be converted into power.
​The PRIMAE RIDE delivers thermal efficiencies of up to 70%, near double that of fuel cells (around 35% at full load).
By channeling surplus renewable electricity into hydrogen production and storage, then using the RIDE’s high-efficiency, dispatchable power conversion, we can stabilize the grid and unlock the full potential of clean energy.
History shows the way: coal-fired steam engines once powered ships, trains, and factories, but they were quickly replaced by diesel engines and electric motors — not through mandates, but through clear advantages in cost, efficiency, and convenience.
The next transition will follow the same path. It will come from new engine technologies that make green fuels more competitive than fossil fuels.
That’s exactly what PRIMAE delivers with the RIDE engine:
Benign
Methane
Methane is inevitable, released naturally as organic matter decomposes on farmimg activities and waste dumps. Unfortunately, it is also a very potent GHG.
​
By capturing this methane and converting it into low-cost local electricity using the RIDE engine, emissions are transformed into a circular cycle, returning only harmless COâ‚‚ to the atmosphere.
Low carbon
agriculture
In countries like Brazil, switching from diesel to bioethanol can reduce agricultural GHG emissions by one-third. With the RIDE engine’s high efficiency, farmers also cut operational costs by 10%.
All clean fuels
Fuel supply follows demand. When flex-fuel engines were introduced in Brazil, ethanol production doubled in a couple of years.
By making clean engines economically superior, the RIDE engine drives demand at scale, ensuring that clean fuel production becomes profitable and sustainable.
Phasing out coal
Coal remains the dirtiest energy source, still widely used due to its low cost.
​
With the RIDE engine, natural gas has become more cost-effective, while delivering massive reductions in pollution and significant benefits to both the environment and human health.
