Blackburn Energy LLC

blackburn energy awarded masscec grant to develop power generation unit prototype. blackburn energy is a design and engineering company that invented a proprietary mash-up of technologies creating break-through efficiencies that will solve the $4.8 billion industry loss resulting from idle time. the term idling refers to the continuous operation of a vehicle’s main propulsion engine while the vehicle is stopped. idling is common in traffic conditions, especially during urban driving, such as at traffic lights or in stop-and-go driving during traffic congestion. however, idling periods in traffic are relatively short. there is more concern over long periods of idling of heavy-duty diesel engines while the vehicle is parked and not in active service. this may have more of an adverse environmental impact and be a source of significant additional—and often unnecessary—fuel consumption. blackburn's solution eliminates the need to idle the engine overnight, saving 2400 gallons of diesel fuel
