Our Mission
We are actively committed to protecting the environment and improving quality of life by reducing emissions of harmful greenhouse gases. The energy transformation and switching the world economy to clean renewable sources is inevitable. However, this is a complicated process and is expected to take many years. During this time, the planet needs to breathe, so solutions are needed to restore the disturbed balance now. That is why, sparing no effort and resources, we have undertaken the mission to develop a formula that will strike at the heart of the emissions problem and help us survive before it is too late!
Tadeusz Kościewicz, PhD.
Founder & CEO
iQiTech was brought to life by a Polish visionary, Tadeusz Kościewicz, with the goal of preserving our planet for future generations.
The whole world is working to eliminate exhaust emissions, but it will be many years until internal combustion engines are 100% replaced by electric. Many of us will not live to see the goal achieved.Our organisation’s primary goal is to develop a solution that will allow us to deal with this problem and make the transition into this new era as smoothly and as quickly as possible.
We have accomplished this task after thousands of hours of research and experimentation by outstanding scientific minds. Our vision progressed over time until our 2021 patent application for the latest generation formula – a fuel component that significantly reduces the emission of toxic compounds into the environment. An entire range of products has been created that is used in many sectors of the economy, and now it is up to us to expand their use to leading transport companies, power plants and even world governments.
“We hold the science and the knowledge in our hands. We need to be proactive and take action for the sake of our future and the future of our children!”

For the last 9 years, he has been stationed in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, working closely with Saudi Aramco.
Having worked and lived in many countries, including Europe, the Middle East, Australasia, and the USA, he is very aware of the often negative impact of human activity on the world. He is a passionate advocate and firm believer in humanity’s ability to significantly and dramatically improve its current state of environmental impact.
“I am very positive about the possibility of improving humanity’s environmental footprint. New technologies allow us to make changes quickly. Many of these technologies already exist or are in a constant state of improvement. They just need to be organized and applied with the utmost haste.
“Imagine the potential of a formula that could cut poisonous gas emissions in half almost instantly. Isn’t that what we’ve been looking for all these years?”

Chief Marketing Officer
Adam joined our team as an enthusiast of modern technologies, but also an active defender of the environment and propagator of a healthy lifestyle. His actions are always guided by ethics and a passion for meeting new people.
For over 15 years, Adam has worked under the supervision of the most effective people in this industry. He has personally cooperated with brands such as Adidas, ING Bank, Alior Bank and many others.
“(…) More and more often I wondered what my greatest motivator was and it became clear to me that I was most pleased with the projects that were created with ecology, environmental protection, and health in mind!
On a clock face, where the history of the Earth is 12 hours, the human species is only 10 seconds! What have we done during this time? Certainly, this extraordinary planet will cope without us… but will we cope without it?
“I deeply believe we can save our natural environment, but we don’t have much time left. Let’s make the most of it with our invention, and soon we’ll all be breathing clean air again!”
Our Journey to Innovation: The Q18 Roadmap
Explore the pivotal milestones in the development of iQiTech’s revolutionary Q18 fuel component, a cornerstone in sustainable fuel technology.
Conceptualization
The initial concept of Q18 was born in Warsaw, Poland from the visionary mind of Ph.D. Tadeusz Kościewicz, aiming to create a fuel additive that significantly reduces harmful emissions without altering engine design.
The general idea was discussed with the leading minds in the oil industry which lead to establishment the early team of scientists. The work has begun!
2015
Early Development
Early stages of development focused on enhancing fuel combustion efficiency, leading to preliminary lab tests that showed promising reductions in emissions.
During the initial tests that aimed to examine the underlying roots of the problem, a significant observation was made: the emissions of harmful gasses as a by-product of fuel combustion derive greatly from the imperfection of combustion itself. The thesis was confirmed in the laboratory and it became the main subject of the further research.
2016
Prototype Testing
Prototype versions of Q18 were tested in various engine types, confirming compatibility and effectiveness in emission reduction.
During the initial tests that aimed to examine the underlying roots of the problem, a significant observation was made: the emissions of harmful gasses as a by-product of fuel combustion derive greatly from the imperfection of combustion itself. The thesis was confirmed in the laboratory and it became the main subject of the further research.
Field Trials
Extensive field trials demonstrated Q18’s ability to reduce CO, CO2, NOx, SOx, and particulate matter emissions significantly across multiple industries.
One of the most significant field tests was made in cooperation with Fortel Group and Hawk Group in the United Kingdom. The latter, being the leading British company in the construction field at that time, has assigned their 132 heavy-duty Komatsu machines to run solely on the fuel enriched with our product for the entire year. The results were stunning:
- Total Working Hours: 199,956.30
- Saving On Fuel Consumption: 14.06%
- Saving On CO2 Emission: 85%
- Fuel Costs Saving On Above Fleet (£): 269,941.01
- Social Costs Of Carbon Emissions – Savings (£): 196,430.71 (85%)
- UK Carbon Tax – Savings (£): 71,395.66 (85%)
Even though the effects were so impressive, we still had to refine the formulation to make the final product more stable.
Field Trials
Extensive field trials on maritime vessels confirmed Q18’s ability to reduce CO, CO2, NOx, SOx, and particulate matter emissions.
Parallelly, in cooperation with the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, tests were carried out on maritime vessels, clearly demonstrating the efficiency and effectiveness of the use of the Q18 formula to reduce GHG emissions.
2017
Optimization
Further refinement and optimization of the Q18 formula to maximize its efficiency and shelf life, preparing for commercial production.
The following outstanding institutes join the group of researchers working on the project:
- Bridgend Technical College
- Orlen Laboratory
- Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Machinery and Combustion Engines
Numerous tests confirm the effectiveness and stability of the improved formula.
2018
Patent Application
The culmination of years of research and development led to the filing of a patent application for the latest generation formula of Q18 in 2021, marking a major milestone in environmental technology.
2021
Grant of Patent
In August 2023, the patent for Q18 was officially granted.
