— EVALUATIONSUMMARY Manufacturer Name: NRG Logistics, LLC Name of. Dewce G2 Hydrogen On—Demand System Background NRG Logfs’ucs LLC of 700 Commerce Drive, Suite 500 Oakbrook Iilinois60523 — has applied for exemption from the prohibitions in Sectlon 27156 of the California Vehicle Code for its G2 Hydrogen On—Demand System device. The device is designed for all 1998—2009 model year (MY) Ilght/medlum/heavy heavy—duty on—road dlesel engines between 5.0 liters to 15.0 liters. Recommendation: ' ' Grant exemption to NRG Loglstlcs LLC as requested and issue Executive Order D—717. . Device Description: The G2 Hydrogen On—Demand Systemdevice produces hydrogen through an electrolysis process by supplying water from a reservoir containing distilled water and an activator (potassium hydroxide) to electrolysis dry cells containing stainless steel ‘plates that are supplied electricity from the vehicle‘s battery. The device consists of a 10—quart water reservoir, a dual cell electronSIS generator (which contain the posxtlve negative, and neutral metal plates), various electrical components, electrical wiring and connectors, and a rubber supply hose for the hydrogen gas. The device is connected.to the vehicle‘s oil pressure CII’CUI’[ so that hydrogen gas is only produced when the engine is operating. . Discussion/Basisfor the Recommendation: This exemption is based on the followmg emission tests conducted on two heavy—duty diesel engines with NRG Loglstlcs LLC‘s G2 Hydrogen On—Demand System device installed: 1. __FTP transient cycle test on a 1999 MY Mack E7 Senes 11. 9 liter diesel engine. 2. FTP transient cycle Euro III ESC 13—mode steady—state, and NTE tests on a 2007 MY Caterpillar C15 Series 11.9 liter diesel engine.

3 FTP transient cycle testing on the 1999 MY Mack E7 Series engine and 2007 MY Caterpillar C15 Series engine modified with the G2 Hydrogen On—Demand System > device did not cause emissions to exceed baseline by more than the allowed limits of 10 percent for HC, NMHC, and NOx and 15 percent on CO and PM which is acceptable for exemption. Euro III ESC and NTE emission testing on the 2007 MY Caterpillar C15 Series engine modified with the G2 Hydrogen On—Demand System device showed that the modified engine met the exhaust emission standards. Similar results areexpected when NRG Logistics, LLC‘s G2 Hydrogen On—Demand System device is used on the 1998—2009 MY light/medium/heavy heavy—duty on—road diesel engmes between 5.0 liters to 15.0 liters as stated in this application.
