OXON Technologies

Market position

OXON presents itself as a deep-tech climate innovator in fuel efficiency, industrial decarbonization and emissions reduction, addressing a market historically populated by fuel additives whose claims management acknowledges have often been unsubstantiated. It reports supporting fleets operating over 260,000 vehicles across logistics, commuter transportation, mining and construction, with more than ten million hours of global run time in 2024, and counts NYSE-listed Sterling Infrastructure's portfolio business Petillo among its customers. The company states that broad adoption of its products could prevent 1.7 billion tons of carbon emissions annually and reduce fossil fuel spending by $525 billion.

OXON positions its technology as a physical rather than chemical approach to combustion improvement, contrasting it with octane and cetane boosters, detergents and lubricity agents, and with the broader history of fuel additive claims. Management explicitly distinguishes the product as a 'modifier' rather than an additive, stating that it works through intermolecular forces and polarity carriers bonded to hydrocarbon fuel, and that it treats combustion inside the engine rather than aftertreatment between engine and exhaust. The proprietary and patented elements are the ionic solutions and the method used to fix the electromagnetic charge. The products are presented as drop-in solutions that integrate with existing fueling infrastructure at a 1:10,000 dosing ratio and that function in both gasoline and diesel engines.

Technology

OXONtech™ is described as a patented method for inducing permanent dipoles (molecular charges) into proprietary OXON products, which are blended into liquid fuels at refineries, fueling stations or vehicle tanks. The products introduce nano-micelles — electromagnetically charged clusters of organic molecules — that disperse among hydrocarbon molecules and contribute free radical particles, creating cascade reactions with lower activation energy barriers for faster, more complete combustion. The micelles also form complexes with oxygen, reducing heat-absorbing oxygen–nitrogen collisions and therefore NOx formation. The product is described as a blend of ethanol, ionic solutions and a free radical provider, 'fixed' with an electromagnetic charge; the ionic solutions and the charge-fixing method are the patented elements. Formulations are varied for high-speed versus medium-speed heavy-duty engines and for different OEM engine control unit calibrations.

Go-to-market

OXON sells directly to fleet and equipment operators through application-specific product lines and offers a free consultation and an online savings calculator based on annual fuel usage and diesel price. It publicizes customer results and testimonials from users such as Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Petillo Inc., Parmentier Autobus NV and Meers Transport, and has expanded through senior regional and market-segment hires covering Europe and Northern Africa, agriculture/forestry/aquaculture, and global growth markets. Distribution also extends upstream via refinery and central fueling station blending, as in the UAE program where partners will purchase OXONtech products for refining and blending clean fuels for GCC sale and export.

Operators of internal combustion engine fleets and heavy equipment: road transport, public transport, delivery and logistics fleets; construction and roadwork contractors; mining operators; agriculture, forestry and aquaculture equipment users; and, for products under development, aviation, maritime and natural-gas power generation. Named customers and references include Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Petillo Inc. (part of Sterling Infrastructure), Parmentier Autobus NV, Meers Transport and Stewart Companies.

Geography

OXON is headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, and describes itself as an American technology firm with worldwide presence. As of the January 2025 launch, it supported fleets operating across the United States, Europe and Africa, and its products were described as in use on five continents. It has a European presence including Brussels-linked announcements and a Managing Director for Europe & Northern Africa, and the 2025 Clean Fuels Investment Program covers the United States and the UAE, with a planned manufacturing plant in the US and a Center for Clean Fuel Excellence in Al Ain, UAE.

History

According to CEO Andrew Lowenstein, the company was founded about ten years ago on the premise that combustion is limited by reliance on atmospheric air, and that increasing the effective oxygen proportion while limiting nitrogen's influence would improve combustion and cut NOx. The company developed and patented the OXONtech production process, then launched OXON™ Drive and OXON™ Build globally in January 2025, followed by OXON™ Mine and, in August 2025, OXON™ Grow. In December 2024 OXON™ Drive was approved by Lean & Green Europe as a carbon reduction solution. In May 2025 OXON signed a strategic agreement with Abu Dhabi-based Innovest Holding LLC for a Clean Fuels Investment Program valued at up to $400 million over ten years, following roughly two years of development and technology testing with UAE partners. Through late 2025 the company added senior commercial leadership including a Managing Director for Europe & Northern Africa, a Chief Marketing Officer, and a President, Global Growth Markets.

Risks & controversies

The fuel additive category has a history of products making similar claims, which the CEO acknowledges, noting that 'there are a lot of additives, and some are snake oil.' Management also states that results vary by customer and duty cycle, with the best outcomes in steady-state applications such as long-haul trucking and weaker results for equipment performing short bursts of work. Much of the available performance data originates from company statements, customer testimonials and paid press-release distribution rather than independent testing, and the announced $400 million UAE program is a multi-year estimated value dependent on future construction and product purchases, with plants not expected to be fully operational until 2027.
