Sherine Dawood and Ahmed Tarek: “Jadeed” Has Invented a Smart Hydrogen Cell… “We’re Targeting a USD 1 Million Round to Export to Europe”

The world is experiencing a crisis with rising fuel consumption and increasing carbon emissions. Entrepreneurs around the globe are striving to offer innovative solutions to this problem. In Egypt, a group of entrepreneurs wanted to participate in reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions and thus invented the “Green Turbo” device—an intelligent hydrogen cell that can be installed on any internal combustion engine in a vehicle. Their company, Jadeed, has achieved significant success.

In an interview with the digital economy platform Follow ICT, Ahmed Tarek and Sherine Dawood, the co-founders of Jadeed, discuss the company’s idea, what it offers and has accomplished so far, and its goals for the future.

How did the idea for “Jadeed” come about?

We are a team with expertise in a variety of fields, such as chemical, mechanical, and communications engineering, hydrogen technology, business management, and international legal consultancy. The idea began eight years ago when we wanted to develop a concept to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions. We arrived at the final model of our product two years ago after conducting trials and tests on it and installing it on 1,000 engines. That’s when we—Ahmed Tarek, Sherine Dawood, Ramy Anwar, and Mohamed Amr—came together as co-founders. The company operates in the climate technology sector because we found there is increasing demand for energy, which leads to higher emissions and global warming. Worldwide consumption from internal combustion engines generates 30 million tons of carbon per day, so we worked on introducing a product that contributes to solving this issue.

What solutions does the company offer?

The first solution we launched is the “Green Turbo” device, an intelligent hydrogen cell that can be installed on any internal combustion engine. In addition, there is a mobile application that provides customers with various information about required maintenance and scheduling. We have filed for a patent in Egypt and have also filed an international patent application. This innovation cuts fuel consumption by 40%, while boosting engine efficiency and extending the engine’s lifespan. It also helps preserve spare parts and lower maintenance costs.
