HHO Carbon Clean Systems Looks To Grow in Illinois’ Agricultural Communities

HHO Carbon Clean Systems*,* the Metropolis, Illinois-based emerging hydrogen carbon cleaning franchise, is targeting its own backyard as it looks to expand.

Specializing in removing excess carbon in gasoline and diesel engines like tractors and large farm equipment, HHO’s process uses distilled water and electrolysis to produce hydrogen gas, which is added to combustion via the engine’s air intake system. When performed by an HHO certified technician, it prevents carbon buildup in an engine, resulting in increased fuel economy, engine performance, and longevity.

The brand’s methods have also been proven to reduce emissions along with lowering gross and differential pressure in diesel particulates filters.

And for farmers struggling with increased costs brought about by changing emissions rules, HHO’s model could provide a simple, cost-effective solution that could ultimately play a prominent role in U.S. efforts to address climate change.

“Emissions rules are changing in the U.S.,” said HHO’s founder Jared English. “But the extent to which farmers are able to undertake activities that reduce greenhouse gas emissions often depend on their costs. Our system not only helps farmers cut down on their expenses, it also gives them the piece of mind to know their machine is in compliance, letting them focus on what is most important: putting food on their tables and ours alike.”

While President Biden’s plan to pay farmers to curb carbon emissions might be one way to meet the challenge, it’s still a ways off. “HHO can help farmers reduce their costs today,” added English.

As HHO eyes markets for expansion, it is seeking franchisees in farm towns that are hubs for tractors and machinery.

“The ideal franchisee should be somebody who has technical experience or ability,” said Cord Koch, director of marketing and franchise development at HHO. “It’s not a complicated process, but they should know the basics of an engine. I grew up on a farm myself and know firsthand how much mechanical knowledge farmers pick up just from day-to-day operations.

We want to partner with those who consider themselves a ‘people person’ and are able to build relationships with potential customers. At the end of the day, you’re selling a service that a driver or operator will see the performance benefits of immediately, but for decision makers it will take time to track fuel savings, decreased cost of repair and reduced downtime. So our franchisees need to be willing to invest that time and effort up front, knowing that the results will come and with them fleet maintenance contracts.”

With 72,000 farms covering 27 million acres — about 75% of the state's total land area — Illinois looks like the ideal place to start. And having the brand’s home office in the state would make it easy for English and his team to provide support and training.

“Accessibility is a huge factor,” said Koch. “If we need to troubleshoot or give any kind of support or help with sales, we’re a short drive away. We want to be hands-on and ensure our franchisees’ success. The proximity to our headquarters will be invaluable, whether in Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana or Missouri.”

For similar reasons, HHO Carbon Clean Systems is looking to grow in markets near Metropolis, including Nashville, St. Louis, Missouri; Memphis, Tennessee and Evansville, Indiana.

“We are on the path now, and the timing has never been better,” said English. “At a time when climate change is a national concern, we’re working diligently to help our customers and partners lower harmful emissions. And by doing that, we’re helping them save money at the same time and achieve peak performance.”

Founded in 2020, HHO Carbon Clean Systems introduces car and truck owners in the United States to a novel and lucrative solution to carbon buildup, one of the industry’s most persistent and costly headaches. HHO Carbon Clean Systems performs hydrogen carbon cleaning on any gasoline or diesel engine, whether mobile or static, removing carbon buildup on a wide range of engine components. As an emerging brand, HHO Carbon Clean Systems is making automotive carbon cleaning safer, greener and far more profitable for clients and franchisees alike.
