Here are the key takeaways from this compelling discussion.
Q: Can you provide insights into the hydrogen energy solutions LIRA is developing and their potential impact on the clean energy ecosystem?
A: LIRA, in partnership with Yaai Green Energy Group, is also driving innovation in India’s hydrogen energy sector by developing state-of-the-art hydrogen systems. These solutions incorporate advanced additive manufacturing cells and groundbreaking oxy-hydrogen cell technology, specifically designed to advance green mobility. Today, we introduce the Oxy-Hydrolyzer, an automotive kit engineered to reduce emissions from high-pollution vehicles such as diesel-powered trucks and boats. By integrating this system, operators can cut fuel consumption by approximately 20%, significantly lowering both operational costs and environmental impact.
Beyond transportation, this cutting-edge technology holds immense promise for industries that rely heavily on natural gas. The oxy-hydrogen system produces hydrogen on demand, eliminating the need for storage while drastically reducing natural gas consumption. This translates into lower carbon dioxide emissions and substantial cost savings for businesses. By providing an efficient, sustainable alternative to conventional energy sources, LIRA and Yaai Green Energy Group are not only advancing India’s green energy landscape but also contributing to a cleaner, more cost-effective future for both the industrial and transportation sectors.
Q: What are the key systems and mechanisms you are designing, and how much carbon dioxide reduction can they achieve in the environment?
A: Our calculations confirm that we can cut carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons in truck exhaust by nearly 80%, significantly improving air quality. Carbon dioxide emissions will depend on fuel consumption, but the reduction remains substantial. By collaborating with Yaai Green Energy, we are bringing this advanced cell system to India, ensuring large-scale production and deployment. This partnership marks a major step toward cleaner transportation, reducing harmful pollutants while enhancing fuel efficiency. With this innovative technology, we are not only addressing emissions but also contributing to a more sustainable and cost-effective future for the logistics and transportation sectors.
Q: What market opportunities do you foresee in India for these systems?
A: I see immense potential for green energy generation, especially in mobility. Cutting pollution by even 50% would mark a significant achievement. Today, both governments and the private sector are increasingly focused on combating pollution and climate change. The urgency for clean, sustainable fuel has never been greater. From this perspective, hydrogen fuel and decarbonization systems present a transformative opportunity. These technologies can drive pollution reduction, accelerate the shift to green mobility, and reshape the future of energy.
Q: Where do you envision LIRA in the clean energy sector over the next 5 to 10 years?
A: As the demand for sustainable energy surges, interest in this kit continues to grow. At India Energy Week 2025, I witnessed firsthand the enthusiasm for this solution. Just two weeks ago, at Hyvolution in Paris, and six weeks ago, at an exhibition in Italy, I encountered the same strong response. Everywhere I presented this technology, the interest was undeniable.
Countries like India, Chile, and Brazil, where pollution remains a critical challenge, stand to benefit immensely. This system offers a viable path to cleaner energy. However, it is still under development. Yaai Green Energy is actively seeking partners to localize installations and co-develop applications tailored to regional needs. Despite being in its early stages, this innovation is poised to be a game-changer.
With pollution and carbon footprints rising in developing nations, LIRA is ready to play a catalytic role in scaling clean energy solutions globally. By delivering cutting-edge decarbonization technology, we aim to tackle one of the world’s most pressing challenges—pollution—and drive the transition to a sustainable future.
