Hydrogen / Diesel Blending
Lower operating costs and emissions through a straightforward retrofit. ESSNA™ owns, installs, and operates the system — no CapEx required.
Lower Diesel Use and Carbon Intensity Using Your Existing Fleet
ESSNA™’s hydrogen diesel blending system retrofits to existing heavy-duty engines to reduce diesel consumption and carbon intensity without fleet replacement.
Hydrogen is blended into the combustion process for a cleaner, more efficient burn — delivering immediate impact and providing a practical bridge toward lower-carbon fleet operations.
ESSNA™'s Hydrogen Advantage
Lower Fuel Costs
Blend hydrogen with diesel to cut fuel expenses without changing your fleet, or generate hydrogen on-site to cut delivery premiums.
Zero CapEx Setup
Whether you retrofit your trucks or install on-site generation, there’s no upfront cost; you only pay for the hydrogen you use.
Supplied Hydrogen
ESSNA™ supplies hydrogen directly at your site, removing delivery dependency while providing a secure and scalable fuel supply.
Carbon Credit Access
Reduce emissions and unlock incentives through clean fuel programs.
How it Works
ESSNA™’s hydrogen-diesel blending system integrates with existing heavy-duty engines to introduce hydrogen into the combustion process in a controlled, autonomous manner — without replacing engines or altering normal vehicle operation.
Supplied Hydrogen
As part of the solution, ESSNA™ provides the hydrogen supply used for diesel–hydrogen blending.
Precision Blending
The H59-D™ autonomous blending module injects hydrogen into the diesel combustion process using precision controls, supplementing diesel without altering engine design or performance.
Cleaner Combustion
Blended hydrogen enables a cleaner, more efficient diesel burn, delivering measurable reductions in diesel consumption and carbon intensity while maintaining engine uptime.
Autonomous Operation
The system operates autonomously during normal driving conditions, requiring no driver input and no changes to existing vehicle operation or workflows.
Our Turnkey Process
We handle the entire process — with no upfront costs, you only pay for the hydrogen you use.
1. Fleet Assessment & Blending Suitability
We begin by assessing your fleet, duty cycles, and diesel consumption to determine where hydrogen–diesel blending delivers the greatest operational and carbon-intensity benefits.This assessment focuses on blending suitability and how ESSNA™ supplies hydrogen to support your operation.
2. Retrofit & System Installation
If needed, we retrofit your trucks to run on a hydrogen-diesel blend and upgrade your fueling setup. Then we install our on-site hydrogen dispensing unit — fully funded by ESSNA™, with zero setup fees or capital required from you.
3. Full-Service Operation & Maintenance
Once installed, we operate the unit end-to-end — handling all monitoring, refueling logistics, and maintenance so your team doesn’t have to.
4. Fail-Safe Operation
The blending system is continuously monitored, with immediate alerts if an issue is detected. In the event of a malfunction, the vehicle automatically reverts to standard diesel operation—ensuring uninterrupted operation while ESSNA™ resolves the issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Our hydrogen-diesel blend works with your existing diesel engines, so there’s no need to invest in new vehicles to start reducing emissions and fuel costs.
Nothing upfront. ESSNA™ covers the cost of installation and setup. You only pay for the hydrogen fuel you use.
The system is continuously monitored, with immediate alerts if an issue is detected. In the event of any interruption, the vehicle automatically reverts to standard diesel operation, ensuring uninterrupted work while ESSNA™ addresses the issue.
Hydrogen–diesel blending can lower your fleet’s carbon intensity, which may improve eligibility for carbon credits or government incentive programs. Eligibility and program availability vary by jurisdiction, so ESSNA™ recommends reviewing applicable federal, state, or provincial programs relevant to your operation.
