A historic discovery that reinvents fuel to make our planet cleaner 

FuelGems leveraged its breakthrough in technology used for nanotechnology manufacturing to produce a groundbreaking and proprietary fuel additive that is environmentally friendly, extremely powerful, highly versatile, and incredibly affordable. The fuel additive is the most powerful product on the market to make gasoline, diesel and biofuel cleaner and more efficient.  

In 2023, FuelGems made a breakthrough discovery in the application of its nanotechnology catalyst to improve the performance of batteries. FuelGems now has incredible potential to cover the high-growth, popular EV space.

The additive reduces fuel consumption by up to 20%, increases lubrication of the engine and its components, and reduces greenhouse gases and dangerous emissions by up to 49.5%!With massive global demand, client ROI up to 1000%, and an enormous pipeline generated in 2023, with over 50 prospective clients using an estimated 30 billion+ gallons of fuel annually, we intend to outsource production to a large chemical company and mass-produce the additive in millions of treatment doses.

A mere micro-dose of 1-5 grams of our environmentally friendly material can treat 265 gallons of fuel. Major competing fuel additives require 800x - 20,000x more material to treat the same amount.FuelGems' state-of-the-art, patented fuel additive skyrockets the cleanness and performance of Gasoline, Diesel, and Biofuel used for all modes of transport and electricity generation.

The additive is both extremely affordable and user-friendly, which will facilitate mass adoption across the $3.5 trillion fuel industry. It can be easily used by gas station operators, refineries, and anyone who operates any mode of transport at a cost savings. We believe this will help us secure long-term partnerships as it provides clients with a profound, immediate, yet lasting competitive advantage. 

We believe these significant advantages currently make FuelGems the most powerful and most affordable fuel additive, providing a competitive advantage no other company or additive can. As a result, four of the biggest corporations in the world with combined annual revenue for 2022 revenue of over $400 billion are in pilot and pre-pilot stages with FuelGems.

FuelGems solution is needed today.

The truth is electric cars are likely to be dirty for the next 80 years. This is because electric cars are only as clean as their electricity source – and currently, 80% of electricity in USA comes from dirty sources such as coal, methane (natural gas), and nuclear (Source).

For electric cars to make a difference, electricity needs to come from clean sources. In order to replace 100% of gasoline/diesel, both electricity production and grid capacity need to increase by 63% (Source). And given the slow historic growth of clean electricity (wind and solar), it would require at least 80 years to replace dirty sources of electricity (Source).

But this is not the only problem – because even if electric cars replace 50% of gasoline cars by 2050, the massive usage of gasoline- and diesel-powered cargo trains and ships, planes, trucks, and generators will continue at full speed. Assuming the $3.5 trillion fuel market shrinks 70% by 2050, it still leaves an enormous $1 trillion market with massive amounts of Gasoline, Diesel, and even Bio-Fuel to be treated – all of which FuelGems can do better than any existing additive (Source).

Diesel and gasoline will power almost 60% of all vehicles by 2050. Fuel is inefficient, dangerous and deadly for the environment and human health, which urgently increases the need for a cleaner, safer, and more effective solution now.

A monumental breakthrough in FuelGems application for use in battery technology

In 2023, we made a monumental breakthrough in using FuelGems' advanced nanoparticle catalyst to boost the batteries' performance significantly. 

We achieved excellent results when we tested our material vs the material used in a regular battery. With our material 4x less in weight than equivalent battery material, our battery delivered 17.5 times (1750%) more power and reached peak power 30% faster. 

What sets FuelGems apart from the competition? Our carbon nanomaterial is a unique and incredibly powerful catalyst made possible by our proprietary-invented plasma reactors. With our newly developed efficient manufacturing mode in 2023, this material is a by-product. 

Nanotechnology for batteries has huge commercial applications and is a hot investment space. 

From the scientific point of view, "Nanoparticles are sparking a revolution in battery technology" and "are one of the most promising anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) because of their outstanding physicochemical properties". A breakthrough that defines the future of batteries. 

Nanotechnology startups that improve battery performance are highly sought-after by Venture Capital investors, and these startups are profitable and reach very high valuations. There are 59 companies manufacturing nanomaterials for batteries, here are selected companies from the list:

Nanotechnology startups in the battery space are popular and reach a high exit percentage. According to Crunchbase, there are 673 nanotechnology startups with more than $1M in Revenue. Of these, so far, 142 made an exit, an astonishing 21%, and: 

• 70 startups were acquired, and 72 went public, with a total implied valuation of 22B 
• Based on median IPO valuation of $150M, the value of 673 nanotechnology startups could reach over 100B
• Total funding of 5.7B, with a total valuation of $100B, is about 18x return

We are excited because FuelGems has the potential to impact the EV space significantly, and the battery market is red hot; according to Statista, it will grow fourfold from $112 billion in 2021 to $424 billion in 2030.

FuelGems chemical engineers have synthesized nanoparticles and chemically treated them using proprietary patent-protected approaches so that they easily dissolve in additive and in fuel.

Chemical Engineering

Our chemists have invented a process to treat nanoparticles while solving the major issue of avoiding nanoparticle agglomeration. This allows a tiny amount of 1 gram of nanoparticles to disperse and stay that way in one ton of fuel (264 gallons), allowing for stable, consistent, and repeatable results.

Fuel additive

Our chemists have created a patent-protected fuel additive that was used in over 1,000,000 miles of real-world driving to ensure practical, predictable, and tangible results.

Our immediate goal is to get our additive utilized in the largest segments so that we can treat the most possible fuel in the shortest period of time

• A single refinery client brings in $27 million in annual revenue.
• A gas station operator with 500 stations brings in $12 million in annual revenue.
• There are 220,000 gas stations and 220 refineries in the U.S. and Europe.

The management estimates that 20 customers, which could be 10 refineries and 10 gas station operators (5000 gas stations) have the potential to generate $420 million in annual revenue for FuelGems while expenses for this amount of revenue are projected to be $249 million which yields 40% EBITDA margin. 

The companies we are in a pilot and pre-pilot stage with are Oil&Gas companies and Gas Stations operators that operate over multiple refineries. We are excited about FuelGems' future.

• We can price our additive up to 95% less than the majority of competitors; thus, we believe our unbeatable pricing advantage, along with the ability to easily add FuelGems to fuel at a wholesale level, will allow us to capture a large market share worldwide very quickly.

For our go-to market strategy we prioritize refineries, gas station operators and fleet operators as the largest and most lucrative segments. There are about 700 refineries that supply $3.5 trillion of fuel. An Oil & Gas as a client is a huge win.  Afterward, we will focus on B2C market to expand our market share.
