Two-stroke engine direct injection retrofit

Direct in-cylinder fuel injection is a technology that has shown the ability to greatly reduce emissions from two-stroke engines. In a DI (Direct Injection) system the carburetor is eliminated, and the fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber via an injector mounted in the top of the chamber’s cylinder head. The EnviroFit Retrofit Kit uses an Orbital based system modified to fit existing motorcycle/tuk-tuk engines.

Clean cook stoves

Researchers and engineers are designing and testing clean-burning stoves that they say will significantly improve air quality and require less wood fuel. Their goal is to significantly reduce Indoor Air Pollution (the smoke generated by traditional fires and stoves used) in developing world homes..

Colorado State's EECL is actively working with Envirofit International to design low cost, high performance cookstoves for the developing world.
