Investor Testimonials
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 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).

FuelGems believes that its cutting-edge advancements in nanotechnology will rewrite what fuel additives are capable of. Previously, they have been typically added in large amounts while each additive addresses a narrow area of improvement. FuelGems believes it currently provides unmatched levels of improvement, efficiency, and user ROI across these areas with a single solution, serving as a historic and disruptive discovery of the fuel additives industry in over 120 years.
Our Story
A Historic Discovery That Reinvents Fuel To Make Our Planet Cleaner
FuelGems manufactures a groundbreaking and proprietary fuel additive which is environmentally friendly, extremely powerful, highly versatile, and incredibly affordable.
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 fuel additive skyrockets the cleanness and performance of Gasoline, Diesel and Bio-fuel used for all modes of transport and electricity generation.
The additive reduces fuel consumption by 9%, increases lubrication of the engine, and its components and reduces greenhouse gases and dangerous emissions by up to 49.5%!
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 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, some of the biggest corporations in the world such as BP, Marubeni, PKN ORLEN, and Suncor Energy are in pilot and pre-pilot stages with FuelGems.
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.

What we Do
We Believe Our New Manufacturing Capability Will Help Bring Historic Changes in the Fuel Industry, Powered by a Passionate, World-Class Team and Groundbreaking Technology
We are a nanotechnology company on a mission to transform the fuel industry by turning cutting-edge technology and groundbreaking advancements into an easy-to-use, powerful, and game-changing product to make fuel cleaner and more efficient. We recently launched a manufacturing facility to make this possible.
*FuelGems fuel additive is currently in production and in the pilot phase with prospective customers.
Technology Behind the Additive: Why FuelGems is a Valuable Company
Our team of exceptional PhD scientists have spent over 5 years and leveraged a lifetime of scientific knowledge to design, test and perfect our product and innovative production. While our technology is highly proprietary and patent-protected, our equipment, materials and plasma reactors used to produce our unique nanoparticles are inexpensive which, we believe, will make it easy to grow the production to a very large output.
Hardware
FuelGems scientists have designed complex electronic modules and processes which generate plasma for production of our unique nanoparticle. These modules are incredibly cost-effective to assemble, allowing for smoother production and high scalability.
Software
Our electronic engineers and computer scientists have built custom software from the ground up to control our reactors and plasma, guaranteeing quality and precision throughout the production process.
Nanotechnology
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.
*FuelGems fuel additive is currently in production and in pilot phase with prospective customers.
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.
*FuelGems fuel additive is currently in production and in pilot phase with prospective customers.
Fuel Additive
Our chemists have created a patent protected fuel additive which was used in over 1,000,000 miles of real-world driving to ensure practical, predictable, and tangible results.
*FuelGems additive packaging might differ with packaging portrayed, FuelGems fuel additive is currently in production and in pilot phase with prospective customers.
STrategy
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. Get our additive distributed to the most prominent segments.
b. Treat the most fuel we can get access to in the shortest time.
We are confident of success because we estimate:
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 two gas stations operators and Oil&Gas companies that operate over 15 refineries. We are excited about FuelGems' future.
For our go-to market strategy we will first prioritize refineries and gas station operators as the largest and most lucrative segments. There are about 700 refineries that supply $3.5 trillion of fuel. A refinery as a client is a huge win. Afterward, we will focus on corporate fleets and the B2C market to expand our market share.
Market
FuelGems Has Intense Demand in Key Regions of the Massive $3.5 Trillion Fuel Market (Source)
FuelGems pilot and pre-pilot potential clients are in the USA, Europe and Asia.

The nanoparticle market is blossoming as venture capital investors are pushing innovation by doubling investment in 2 years. The nanoparticle market is projected to grow to a staggering $290.3 billion by year 2028.
How we are different
FuelGems additive is extremely user-friendly and requires little to no technical knowledge to use. Nanoparticles are dissolved in gasoline or another solvent, then this solution is added to fuel. This allows even the most inexperiences users to enjoy the massive benefits.
*FuelGems additive packaging might differ from the packaging portrayed, FuelGems fuel additive is currently in production and in the pilot phase with prospective customers.
FuelGems handles multiple areas at once, eliminating the need for multiple fuel additives and making the entire process much more simple and cost-effective.
In addition to our price advantage, we believe, a wide array of benefits and easy integration with fuel will give us the ability to add our additive at a refinery level and will put FuelGems in a class of its own, allowing us to capture a large market share worldwide.
The Business Model
We realize cutting-edge advancements need to be easy and practical to adopt in the real world. So, to facilitate mass adoption and secure essential partnerships, we will bridge this gap for our three primary market channels, which we believe will ensure success and a win-win outcome.
In-House Manufacturing: We intent to greatly increase current capacity and to produce the additive in-house to meet market demand.
Outsouring: We will explore outsourcing production as a channel to expedite usage of our fuel additive worldwide.
Licensing: We will consider licensing the technology to large users and provide set-up configuration support.

Driver Reported 50% Increase In Gas Mileage During a Trial Completed By Prospective Customer*
FuelGems' focus is global. While we are in process of our EPA registration in US for on-road applications, we work to run prospective customer trials in the following geographies: North America/US (off-road), Europe, Middle East, Latin America and Asia, with a focus on North America and Europe.
The following trial was executed with a small logistics company operating about 20 commercial vans and trucks. The trial vehicle used was a 2018 Renault Master Izotermy-Tim (pictured above) with a EURO5, 2.3 Diesel engine. We treated the vehicle at 6AM, right before the delivery of goods took place. Treat rate was about 3 grams of nanoparticles per 265 gallons of fuel. We then left everything up to the driver. We value independent customer trials, in order to hear the customer’s view. Thus, we dosed the additive and allowed the prospective customer to run the additive to their liking.
The driver notified us in respect to gas mileage towards the end of his driving day:
While these numbers are high, they are in-line with controlled trials we ran with a Toyota gasoline engine and Shell fuel for 31.2% increase in gas mileage (please see the updates below). These numbers are truly impressive!
If you have good contacts at Oil&Gas companies, Oil Terminals, Gas Stations Operators, Vehicle Fleets please share these results and we will be happy to set-up trials!

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
