OptiBlend® Dual Fuel Systems

What OptiBlend® Dual Fuel Systems does

OptiBlend® Dual Fuel Systems, a product brand operated by Eden Innovations LLC, designs and sells retrofit kits that enable conventional diesel engines and generators to operate on a blend of natural gas (or propane, LNG, wellhead gas, CNG, biogas, and hydrogen mixtures) and diesel. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Littleton, Colorado, the company reports an installed base of more than 250 diesel generators across the United States, collectively generating approximately 126MW of power. The company employs about 21 people.

The core product is a modular conversion kit composed of four integrated components: a low-pressure gas train with a zero-pressure regulator, an air-gas mixer (AGM), an electronically controlled fuel control valve (FCV), and a control panel running a proprietary closed-loop displacement algorithm that automatically compensates for varying gas BTU composition without recommissioning. The kit is compatible with diesel engines from Caterpillar, Cummins, Kohler, MTU (Rolls-Royce), John Deere, and Mitsubishi, and is rated for 200kW–2000kW constant-speed power applications. Typical displacement of diesel fuel is 50%, reaching up to 70%, yielding fuel cost savings of up to 24% and ROI within 250 runtime hours.

OptiBlend serves four primary verticals — oil & gas operations (drilling, pumping, compression in remote locations), healthcare and medical facilities (hospitals, senior living, care facilities requiring extended backup runtime), data centers, and disaster relief/first responders. The company sells through a combination of dealer representative networks, direct website/phone sales, and installation partners (Smith Power, Renosa Corporation). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time kit sales at approximately $30K USD per unit, supplemented by professional installation and commissioning services. There is no publicly disclosed revenue, no external funding, and no public listing.

Core offering

OptiBlend® manufactures and sells dual fuel conversion kits that retrofit conventional diesel engines and generators (200kW–2000kW) to operate on natural gas as the primary fuel. Each kit consists of a gas train, air-gas mixer (AGM), fuel control valve (FCV), and a control panel with a proprietary closed-loop displacement algorithm — installed without engine modification. The company also provides professional installation and commissioning services for these kits.

Product overview

OptiBlend® Dual Fuel Systems, a product of Eden Innovations LLC, offers a modular dual fuel conversion kit that enables conventional diesel engines and generators to operate on a blend of natural gas and diesel. The core product consists of four integrated components: a gas train (for gas regulation), an air-gas mixer (AGM) for fuel-air mixing, a fuel control valve (FCV) for ratio adjustment, and a control panel with a proprietary closed-loop displacement algorithm. These components work together to displace up to 70% of diesel fuel with natural gas, extending generator runtime, reducing fuel costs, and lowering emissions. The company serves industries including oil & gas, healthcare, data centers, and disaster relief across power generators from Caterpillar®, Cummins®, Kohler®, MTU, John Deere®, and Mitsubishi®.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Cummins Westport: A joint venture between Cummins and Westport that produces factory-built natural gas engines for industrial and power generation applications. It represents an alternative to OptiBlend's retrofit approach, addressing similar end-customer needs with integrated OEM solutions.
• Westport Fuel Systems: Westport develops natural gas and hydrogen engine technologies, including HPDI systems, targeting commercial vehicle and industrial engine applications. It competes with OptiBlend at the natural gas engine conversion layer for industrial and power generation customers.
• IMPCO Technologies (Fuel Systems Solutions): IMPCO specializes in gaseous fuel delivery systems and electronic controls for converting engines to natural gas and propane. It is a long-standing competitor in the alternative fuel conversion space targeting similar industrial and stationary power markets.
• Altronic (HOERBIGER): Altronic (now part of HOERBIGER) sells Bi-Fuel natural gas conversion systems for diesel engines — a directly competing dual fuel retrofit product targeting the same industrial diesel generator installed base as OptiBlend.

Broad incumbents

• MTU/Rolls-Royce Power Systems: MTU is a major manufacturer of large diesel and gas generator systems (including 500kW units referenced in OptiBlend customer cases). It competes with OptiBlend through both factory-integrated gas engines and through dealer relationships that influence retrofit adoption.
• Caterpillar: Caterpillar is a dominant diesel and gas engine OEM whose generators OptiBlend retrofits. Caterpillar's own expanding natural gas and hybrid power offerings compete with OptiBlend as integrated alternatives to dual fuel retrofitting.
• Kohler: Kohler manufactures industrial and commercial generators that OptiBlend retrofits. Kohler's expanding natural gas generator lineup provides an OEM alternative to third-party dual fuel retrofit kits.
• Cummins: Cummins is a global engine and power generation OEM whose diesel engines are a primary platform for OptiBlend retrofits. Cummins' own natural gas engine portfolio and gas-blending initiatives compete directly with the OptiBlend retrofit value proposition.
• Generac: Generac is a leading generator OEM offering natural gas, propane, diesel, and bi-fuel generator systems for residential, commercial, and industrial customers. It competes with OptiBlend's value proposition by offering factory-built dual fuel generators instead of retrofits.

Emerging players

• Ballard Power Systems: Ballard is a leading hydrogen fuel cell manufacturer targeting backup power, data center, and industrial applications. It represents an emerging zero-emission alternative to diesel and dual fuel generators that OptiBlend's hydrogen-ready kit competes against in the long term.
