Bio
Don Owens is known as one of the most creative technological innovators – and Black entrepreneurs – of our time. Don Owens (CEO of HNO Green Fuels and author of revolutionary read, Burn Fuel Better) is tackling our global climate crisis from a new angle. After patenting a technology that can save the planet — and all of us who call it home — before our time to act runs out.
After discovering that his hydrogen-powered, fuel-saving technology could decrease the creation of harmful particulate matter by half within any engine that burns fuel, Owens dove deep into the issue and discovered his true calling: to help those in power understand the true devastation caused by black carbon particulate matter, to encourage them to set aside their political or ideological differences, and to motivate them to join forces today and scale-out his solution globally (in time to make a difference). He outlines why black carbon is 1500x more harmful to the planet than the more popular focal point, CO2 while offering a patented solution that can be adapted almost endlessly to cut down black carbon creation worldwide.
What's impressive is that his solution doesn't require a complete shift to renewable energy or total abandonment of fossil fuels. It, quite simply, helps burn those fuels better through technology — and the only thing preventing widespread adoption is a lack of global awareness of the issue.
