A Jamaican auto service provider is using HHO carbon cleaning technology to remove carbon deposits from vehicle engines. This process aims to improve fuel efficiency and extend engine life for both petrol and diesel vehicles. The service claims to reduce vehicle emissions by up to 72 percent. While electric vehicles remain the primary path for deep decarbonization, these maintenance services offer a way to lower the environmental impact of existing internal combustion engines.

Story about a shop in Jamaica using HHO cleaners to strip carbon from engines. They claim it cuts emissions by 72 percent and saves on fuel. Worth a look for those interested in how old ICE fleets are being managed in the Caribbean.

The 72 percent emissions reduction figure sounds way too high for a simple cleaning service. Is that a peak reduction during the process or a long term average? I would need to see the actual testing data before believing a cleaning solvent does that much.

Exactly. The anecdote about the Mitsubishi Pajero is a classic sales pitch, not a data point. I care more about the payback period. If the service costs 25,000 JMD, how many liters of fuel do you actually save before you break even?

Interesting that this is framed as decarbonization. In policy terms, we usually talk about switching fuel sources. This is just efficiency maintenance. It helps, but it is not a systemic shift in carbon accounting.
