Everything you want to know about Industrial Decarbonisation

CHFA (Controlled Hydrogen Fuel Assist) is SGT's proprietary patented technology for on-demand oxy-hydrogen (HHO) generation and injection into combustion systems. The key word is controlled.

The system electrolyses distilled water on-demand using DC power, producing HHO which is introduced upstream of the turbocharger or directly into the intake manifold. No hydrogen is stored — it is generated only when needed and consumed immediately.

Yes. SGT operates two distinct technology platforms:

• CHFA (Controlled Hydrogen Fuel Assist) — designed for reciprocating engines: DG sets, marine engines, trucks, mining/construction vehicles. HHO is injected into the air intake of the engine.
• CHCA (Controlled Hydrogen Combustion Assist) — designed for industrial combustion systems: boilers and kilns. HHO is introduced into the combustion chamber or burner assembly and works alongside coal, biomass, diesel, CNG, LDO, HFO, or pet coke.

Both platforms share the same core water electrolysis process but differ in gas flow rates, delivery mechanisms, and control architecture to match the specific combustion dynamics of each application.

Results vary by application, engine standard, fuel type, and operating conditions. DG set deployments (proven, deployed) show 3–12% fuel savings in real factory loads (Tested at real client factory locations). Vehicles tested across 3,00,000+ km show 4–18% depending on Euro standard and duty cycle.

Yes. SGT has authored a peer-reviewed research paper in ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) scientific journal, which is the Indian government's primary automotive testing authority. The paper documents controlled experiments on DG sets at multiple industrial facilities.

• Tested at Pharma company in Vizag (1010 kVA, 380 kVA)
• Tested at manufacturing company at Chennai
• NABL-accredited laboratory results
• All non-hydrogen variables controlled to isolate HHO effect

Globally, hydrogen-in-combustion technology has been validated by multiple progressive industries globaly. SGT's technology makes this industrial-proven approach accessible outside China for the first time.

Safety is architecturally embedded in every SGT system. Key safety mechanisms include:

• No gas storage: HHO is generated on-demand and consumed immediately. There is no pressurised hydrogen cylinder or tank at any point.
• Automatic shutdown: Over-temperature, over-pressure, low-water-level, and electrical fault detection trigger immediate shutdown.
• No engine modification: The system is a bolt-on retrofit. Engine hardware, fuel injection, and combustion geometry are untouched — so removing the SGT unit makes no impact to the engine except that it might be running with more fuel and more emissions, like it did in normal state.
• Fail-safe design: In the event of any system error, the unit shuts off and the host engine continues operating normally on its primary fuel. Diesel always remains the primary fuel for the engine and hydrogen acts only as an enhancer.

SGT's technology is fuel-agnostic by design. Supported primary fuels by application:

• Industrial (CHCA): Coal, biomass, diesel, CNG, propane, LDO, HFO, pet coke
• Marine (CHFA): HFO, MDO, MGO, diesel
• Logistics / Engines on Wheels (CHFA): Diesel

The HHO assist mechanism improves combustion completeness regardless of primary fuel type, which makes it applicable across a wide range of industrial and transportation assets.

GreenVision is SGT's AI-powered IoT and Digital Twin platform — the software layer that sits on top of the hardware. It provides:

• Real-time fuel monitoring and consumption tracking per asset (Whereever technically feasible)
• Emissions monitoring (CO₂, NOx, PM, SOx) with IPCC AR6 methodology
• Baseline normalisation and performance analytics
• Predictive maintenance alerts
• ESG-grade MRV (Measurement, Reporting, Verification) outputs
• Auto-generated compliance reports: BRSR, CBAM, IMO CII, CPCB
• Carbon credit documentation and market access support

GreenVision transforms the hardware install into a continuous decarbonisation programme — giving customers verified data, not just a physical device.

Installation is designed to be minimally disruptive. The SGT system is a bolt-on retrofit that requires no modification to engine hardware, fuel systems, or combustion geometry.

For DG sets and vehicle applications, installation typically takes hours. For large industrial boilers and marine engines, installation is scheduled during planned maintenance windows to eliminate operational disruption.

SGT systems are custom-engineered to each application. The HHO dosing rate, flow control configuration, and injection point are all calibrated to the specific engine or combustion system.

For vehicles, the system has been validated on Euro 3/ BS3 through Euro 6/ BS6 engines. Savings tend to be higher on older engines (Euro 3/4) due to less optimised combustion, and on engines under higher load conditions.

For DG sets, the validated range spans 250 kVA to 1500 kVA in published testing, with the system scalable to larger installations. Industrial boiler and kiln solutions are engineered case-by-case given the wide variation in combustion temperatures, burner types, and fuel inputs.

A fair and important question. The honest answer has four parts:

• It has been adopted — industrially. CEMEX, SCHOTT, Saint-Gobain, DR.Reddy's Lab, Coca Cola and Iris Ceramica all use hydrogen in combustion at scale for various industrial applications. What was missing was accessible equipment outside China.
• Chinese monopoly. Industrial-grade on-demand HHO equipment was only manufactured in China. For global buyers concerned about supply chain, quality, or geopolitics, there was no alternative. SGT is the first manufacturer of industrial-grade HHO systems outside China.
• Vehicle HHO had a bad reputation — for a reason. Uncontrolled injection on small engines showed inconsistent results. CHFA's controlled dosing solves this — documented in SGT's ARAI research paper.
• Regulation just arrived. CPCB, IMO 2050, BRSR, and EU CBAM have created urgency that simply didn't exist 3 years ago. The cost of not decarbonising now exceeds the cost of our solution.

The primary consumable is distilled water. The system generates HHO from water, so water levels need to be replenished periodically — typically daily to monthly depending on unit size and runtime.

SGT offers Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) covering:

• Scheduled preventive maintenance visits
• Spare parts supply and replacement
• System calibration and performance optimisation
• 24/7 remote monitoring via GreenVision IoT

Under DaaS (Decarbonisation-as-a-Service) models, all maintenance is handled entirely by SGT — the customer simply consumes the fuel and emission savings. DaaS however is a service that is offered to selected enterprise based on SGT discretion.

Pricing depends on the application. Indicative ranges:

Industrial solutions (boilers, kilns) are custom-engineered — pricing is case-specific based on capacity, fuel type, and deployment scope. We encourage an on-site assessment before quoting.

DaaS is SGT's commercial model, designed to remove the biggest barrier to adoption — capital expenditure.

SGT manages all risk. You consume verified emission reductions and fuel savings. The GreenVision platform provides audit-ready data for your BRSR, CBAM, and sustainability reporting needs.

Payback depends on fuel costs, asset utilisation, and fuel savings achieved. Indicative payback timelines:

Marine payback is fastest because marine fuel (HFO/MDO) is expensive and vessels operate continuously. Contact us with your specific fuel consumption data and we'll provide a precise ROI calculation.

Under DaaS, SGT's business model is aligned with your savings — we only succeed if you save. The GreenVision platform continuously monitors fuel consumption and system performance, providing an objective baseline for performance verification.

For outright purchases, SGT conducts a paid Proof-of-Concept (POC) before any full deployment commitment. The POC validates savings at your specific site before you commit to full-scale rollout.

Yes — and this is a significant additional value stream. GreenVision generates verified, IPCC AR6-compliant emissions data that forms the basis for carbon credit claims. SGT's GreenMentor consulting arm provides end-to-end support for:

• Carbon credit documentation and methodology compliance
• Verification preparation under recognised standards
• Market access for selling generated credits

The combination of real emission reductions + GreenVision's MRV data creates a documentable, monetisable carbon reduction programme — not just a hardware install.

Directly yes. GreenVision auto-generates compliance-ready reports for:

For large corporates under BRSR reporting obligations, the GreenVision platform transforms ESG data collection from a manual annual exercise into a continuous automated process — significantly reducing compliance cost and audit risk.

SGT hardware carries standard product warranty covering manufacturing defects. We are developing our product & technology and engaging with customers regularly, but do not give any gurantee for outcomes. Customer's are expected to measure and experiences changes and assess the ROI for their assets during POC. Products once sold cannot be returned.

All systems include GreenVision IoT monitoring, which provides objective third-party-auditable performance data to verify savings continuously throughout the contract term.

SGT HydroEdge manufactures at its GreenLabs facility in Chakan, Pune, Maharashtra. Phase 1 manufacturing capacity is designed for 100,000+ units per year.

SGT's GreenEdge boiler solution (CHCA technology) introduces HHO into the combustion chamber alongside your existing fuel — coal, biomass, diesel, CNG, LDO, or HFO. The expected benefits include improved combustion completeness, lower unburnt carbon, reduced soot and particulate emissions, and proportional CO₂ reduction.

Boiler sizes from small process boilers up to large steam generation plants can be evaluated. Custom engineering assessment required before deployment.

Kilns represent one of the most compelling decarbonisation opportunities globally — and one of the hardest to address with conventional methods. SGT's CHCA technology for kilns is inspired by industrial deployments at CEMEX (cement, EU + Mexico), SCHOTT (glass, Germany), and Iris Ceramica (ceramics, Italy).

GreenX is SGT's proven, commercially deployed DG set solution — the most validated product in the SGT portfolio. It uses CHFA technology to inject HHO into the DG engine's air intake, improving combustion and delivering 3–12% fuel savings alongside significant PM and CO emission reductions.

Primary markets: Telecom towers, data centres, pharmaceutical manufacturing, industrial facilities, hospitals. The DaaS model is available for large fleet installations with reputed companies. (10+ units).

GreenMarine is SGT's solution for marine engines — designed for coastal, inland, and ocean-going vessels. The system is built for harsh marine environments with sealed, marine-grade construction and no hydrogen storage on board (eliminating SOLAS concerns).

• Fuel savings: 3–12% on HFO, MDO, or MGO
• Directly improves CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator) rating
• GreenVision provides auto-generated IMO CII and MARPOL Annex VI compliance reports
• DaaS (Small upfront & Zero Capex) available.

With IMO 2050 net-zero targets and CII ratings creating commercial consequences for rated D/E vessels, GreenMarine provides immediate compliance improvement without dry-docking or engine replacement.

GreenDrive covers all diesel engines on wheels — from logistics fleets and long-haul trucks to mining haul trucks and construction equipment.

The GreenVision platform provides fleet-level emissions dashboards supporting BRSR and ESG disclosure requirements.

Mining vehicles are a particularly compelling application: high fuel cost, heavy load operation, remote environments, and growing corporate sustainability mandates for mining firms.

SGT's three verticals address a wide range of industries:

• Industrial: Cement, ceramics, glass, steel, textiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, refractory
• Marine: Coastal shipping, international commercial shipping, fishing, ferry operators, navy, coast guard, port operations (tugs, dredgers)
• Engines on Wheels: Logistics & trucking, mining, construction, municipal transport, last-mile delivery

Across all sectors, the common thread is diesel or fossil fuel combustion under regulatory and cost pressure — the exact conditions where CHFA and CHCA create immediate, measurable value apart from reducing pollution significantly.

SGT is actively pursuing international markets, particularly where EU regulatory pressure (CBAM, emissions trading) and IMO 2050 create urgent demand.

SGT is looking for capable partners to expand in global markets.

The minimum economically viable deployment depends on asset type:

• DG sets: Even a single unit on a vehicle, DG, Marine or Industry asset is economically viable.
• Marine vessels: Single vessel deployment is viable given high marine fuel costs. Payback under 6 months on most commercial vessels under DaaS monthly rental model.
• Vehicles: Single unit retail purchase available.
• Industrial (boiler/kiln): Single asset viability depends on fuel consumption — high-utilisation industrial boilers (running 20+ hours/day) typically see fastest payback. Custom assessment required.

EV transition requires new infrastructure, new vehicles, capital write-offs on existing fleets, and long procurement cycles. Full green hydrogen requires pipelines, storage, and supply chains that don't exist at scale today.

SGT works on every fossil fuel asset you already own, today, without changing fuel or engine. It's the only decarbonisation solution that is immediately deployable at scale across existing industrial, marine, and transport assets — and delivers a financial return simultaneously.

Absolutely — and this is our preferred approach. Every engagement starts with a paid Proof-of-Concept (POC), which includes:

• Site/fleet assessment and engineering evaluation
• System installation on 1–3 representative assets
• 7–60 day monitored operation with GreenVision data collection
• Detailed savings report with verified data before full deployment decision

The POC is paid — depending on application — and the data gathered is yours regardless of the subsequent commercial decision. Several of our key enterprise relationships began as POCs.

The addressable market is vast across SGT's three verticals:

• Industrial combustion: 50,000+ industrial boilers and kilns in India alone. CBAM and carbon pricing creating urgency in EU-connected supply chains globally.
• Marine: 50,000+ ocean-going vessels globally facing IMO 2050 net-zero targets. India has 1,500+ coastal vessels under Sagarmala initiative.
• DG sets: 15 million+ DG sets in India (telecom, data centres, industrial, commercial). Regulatory and cost pressure is acute.
• Vehicles: Hundreds of millions of diesel commercial vehicles globally. India alone has 10M+ commercial trucks.

SGT's non-China positioning creates an additional international opportunity — any market seeking supply chain diversification away from Chinese manufacturers is a natural target.

SGT has three revenue layers — each with different scaling characteristics:

• GreenLabs (Hardware): Product sales (outright) and selective DaaS deployments. Hardware revenues grow with unit volume. High-ticket industrial and marine units drive non-linear revenue growth.
• GreenVision (SaaS): Monthly/annual IoT platform subscription per connected unit. Scales directly with installed base — every hardware unit creates a recurring SaaS customer.
• GreenMentor (Consulting): Decarbonisation strategy, regulatory compliance, carbon credit monetisation. Fee-based projects for enterprise clients.

• Patent protection: CHFA technology is patent-filed, covering the controlled dosing and adaptive load-sensing architecture.
• First-mover outside China: No other non-Chinese manufacturer of industrial-grade on-demand HHO systems exists. Building this takes 3+ years of R&D and validation — not easily replicated.
• ARAI validation: Peer-reviewed scientific validation creates a regulatory and credibility barrier that generic HHO kit suppliers cannot match.
• GreenVision data lock-in: Once a customer's assets are monitored on GreenVision, the historical data, baselines, and ESG reports create significant switching costs.
• Customer relationships: Enterprise relationships create reference customer advantages in each sector.

Every one of these regulations creates a financial penalty for inaction — and a direct commercial case for SGT's solutions. The cost of non-compliance with CBAM alone for Indian exporters to Europe creates a multi-billion dollar incentive to reduce Scope 1 emissions at source.

SGT's GTM strategy is multi-channel, with priority on high-ticket industrial and marine deployments for revenue intensity:

• Direct enterprise sales: Large industrial, marine, and fleet customers. High-value, long-term contracts.
• Consulting firm partnerships: Global firms who serve decarbonisation clients. Revenue share on joint deployments.
• Channel partners: Regional distributors in target markets (SE Asia, Middle East, EU, Africa).
• Technology partnerships: IoT, cloud, and energy management firms who white-label GreenVision or co-deploy hardware.

• Technology scepticism: Mitigated by ARAI-validated research paper, NABL testing, and paid POC model that lets customers verify results before committing.
• Boiler/kiln development risk: CHFA (DG sets, vehicles, marine) is proven and deployed. Industrial combustion (CHCA) is in pilot development — revenue model is not dependent on CHCA succeeding in year 1.
• Sales cycle length: Enterprise industrial and marine sales have long cycles. DG set and vehicle sales are faster. Portfolio diversification mitigates dependence on any single segment.
• Competition: Chinese manufacturers are the primary alternative. SGT's non-China positioning is a differentiator in most international markets. Indian regulatory and enterprise preference also favours domestic supply.

The three-layer model (GreenLabs + GreenVision + GreenMentor) is designed to capture value at every level of the decarbonisation value chain — from the physical device to the carbon credit. By FY31, the target is a predominantly recurring revenue model where SaaS and consulting revenues represent a majority of total revenue, creating a defensible, high-margin business on top of a large installed hardware base.
