AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE: HYLN) (“Hyliion”), a developer of sustainable electricity-producing technology, is pleased to announce the successful demonstration of the KARNO™ generator’s groundbreaking fuel-agnostic capabilities, showcasing an uninterrupted transition between multiple fuel types during live operation. This achievement highlights the KARNO generator’s ability to offer customers a flexible and sustainable power solution that can adapt to different fuel sources—a capability that sets it apart from conventional generators.
The KARNO generator was tested using natural gas, then adjusted to a nitrogen-rich syngas, and then operated on various mixtures of natural gas and hydrogen up to a majority hydrogen composition. Without requiring recalibration or shutdown, the generator was able to adapt to these changes while maintaining power output due to its robust design and smart control system that can accommodate real-world fuel variability. Designed to operate on over 20 different fuels, including natural gas, hydrogen, propane, diesel, ammonia, and methane, the KARNO generator offers customers the opportunity to future-proof their energy solutions by enabling the use of both traditional and alternative fuel sources that may become more widely available in the future. Additionally, the KARNO generator can achieve zero carbon emissions with specific fuels and ultra-low NOx and CO emissions, offering a more sustainable alternative to conventional generators.
“This adaptability means customers can benefit from the generator’s capability to handle impure or variable fuels, making it ideal for applications in industries like oil and gas, waste gas recovery, and other environments where fuel composition may vary,” said Thomas Healy, Founder and CEO of Hyliion. “I’m incredibly proud of our team’s progress on this groundbreaking technology and excited to see how it will transform sustainable power solutions for our customers.”
Hyliion anticipates initial deliveries to early adopter customers by the end of the year and is focusing on sectors like EV charging, data centers, waste gas utilization, and marine power. Not all compatible fuels may be available at commercial launch.
