Carbon Matters is an Airmax Group company and brand that represents the activities undertaken by Airmax in investing in technology to find and develop alternative energy or emission reduction projects.

Our aim is to:

1. identify, understand, verify and offer monitoring technology that helps reduce green house gases including CO₂
2. design environmentally friendly energy systems, including methods and procedures for their efficient use by remote telemetry

Applications being developed are:

• The measurement and reduction of CO₂ emissions from vehicles based on:
driven mileage and/or fuel usage
hybrid engine, stop /start monitoring
EV and fuel cell monitoring
Driver behaviour monitoring with KPI’s
eco driving
eco routing
predictive and intelligent cruise control
• The re-mapping of ECUs to provide adaptive eco-driving technology based on driver profiling.
• The development of applications to monitor driver behaviour for eco-driving schemes including insurance promotions.
• Alternative fuel management  including HHO and common rail hydrogen injection
• Hydrogen Assisted Renewable Power system, known as HARP
• The production of Hydrnol as an alternative and sustainable fuel
• Replacement of up to 100% of gasoline in spark ignition engines
• Displacement of up to 50% of diesel in compression ignition vehicles
• Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS) Implementation

Electricity From The Sun

Harnessing the energy of the sun is a very attractive approach to meeting our energy needs. These days’ standalone systems are employed to provide lighting, refrigeration or power for communication systems. PV is also competing with diesel generators in these applications which have high maintenance, fuel and supply costs. PV can be shown to have a relatively short ROI when used off-grid, however, all costs are ‘borne up front’ which slows the take up of the technology.

Grid connected PV offers the potential for energy generation at the point of use in urban environments or large scale solar plants in solar resource rich locations such as southern Spain. However even northern hemisphere countries are to be found encouraged by government Feed in Tariffs (FIT). PV remains an expensive technology. Cost reduction through addition of efficient Sterling engines or hydrogen generators will change the output efficiency many fold.
