About YBG Global

Engineered for growers. Direct from the factory.

The direct-purchase engineering platform for glasshouse, controlled-environment, and horticultural growers — supplying hydrogen-rich irrigation systems and combustion-enhancement equipment for climate control.

YBG Group

Hydrogen for Life — one abundant element, three essential human needs.

YBG Global is part of the YBG Group, whose work spans three divisions built on the most abundant element in the universe: wellness through hydrogen-rich bathing and personal care, clean air through industrial combustion-enhancement engineering, and food security — the hydrogen irrigation and climate systems on this site — all exchanging life-giving products globally.

Position

YBG Global is the direct-purchase engineering platform for glasshouse, controlled-environment, and horticultural growers.

We supply hydrogen-rich irrigation systems and combustion-enhancement equipment for climate control, engineered by the same team and manufactured to the same standard. Both product lines sit under a single identity: one operator, one factory discipline, one continuous-duty specification.

Our focus is on the measurable inputs that growers already manage every day — water chemistry at the dripline and fuel efficiency in the heating boiler — without requiring a redesign of existing plant, irrigation infrastructure, or growing practice.

The Opportunity

Irrigation quality and climate-control efficiency are two of the highest-leverage, most overlooked levers in controlled-environment agriculture.

Hydrogen-rich water at the dripline and combustion-enhanced boiler efficiency both address real, measurable inputs — water chemistry and fuel efficiency — without requiring a redesign of existing plant or irrigation infrastructure.

For the grower, that means improvements that can be layered onto current operations: better water quality where it reaches the root zone, and a more complete burn in the heating system that already protects the crop. No new crop science. No rip-and-replace.

Track record

Field-verified at industrial scale — before it was ever sold online.

The oxyhydrogen combustion-enhancement technology behind our Climate Systems line was proven across a ten-plant biomass-fired steam fleet in India: a 13% average steam-to-fuel improvement, 60% NOx reduction, and sub-two-year payback, sustained in continuous operation.

Those results are not self-reported. They are documented in a joint report by UIBC and Nangia Andersen, published under the imprint of NTPC — third-party institutional validation that any buyer can verify independently at ybgindustrial.com and yullbrownsgas.com.

On the irrigation side, the evidence base includes a six-year rice programme near Shanghai (Qingpu) recording an average 18.8% yield increase, and a peer-reviewed two-year cherry-tomato study in China (Shanghai 2021, Nanjing 2023) — documented with sources on the group's grower resource site, hydrogenmachines.com.au.

Heritage

Every Climate System YBG builds — from the Glasshouse Boiler Oxyhydrogen Generator to the Industrial Oxyhydrogen Plant — traces to four decades of direct, hands-on engineering.

Founder Dr Peter Griffiths worked alongside Research Professor Yull Brown, the technology's original researcher, from 1985 to 1998. That same engineering discipline now brings combustion-enhancement to growers worldwide — real heritage behind every unit, not a recent addition to a product catalogue.

Principles
Engineered, not assembled
Systems are built to documented specification, not commodity equipment.
Grower-native
Sized and specified against the operator's actual site conditions.
Direct
Factory-aligned pricing, with no reseller markup.
Ready to deploy
Self-serve ordering for standard configurations, engineering support for anything larger.
Pillars
Irrigation Systems
HERO Irrigation Hydrogen Nano-bubble System (WZ-S)
Hydrogen-rich drip irrigation for glasshouses, nurseries, vineyards, turf, and hydroponic operations.
Climate Systems
DY/QY-series oxyhydrogen combustion enhancement
Glasshouse boiler efficiency through on-demand oxyhydrogen injection — improving burn completeness and reducing fuel consumption without rebuilding the combustion train.
Group activity
Separate industrial operation
Combustion-enhancement engineering, deployment, and Measure & Verify capability for large-scale industrial thermal assets
This work is operated independently within the broader YBG Group at ybgindustrial.com — covering HydroHub™ deployment (Design & Deploy) paired with ControlAlign™ (Measure & Verify). It does not form part of the YBG Global AgTech product catalogue.

Leadership
Peter Griffiths
CMD — Chief Managing Director, YBG Group International

Dr. Peter Griffiths has spent four decades working hands-on in oxyhydrogen engineering and combustion-side performance. His field programs — including oxyhydrogen deployment across Indian biomass-fired steam boilers — produced sustained, measurable improvements in steam-to-fuel performance and became the empirical foundation for the product lines on ybgglobal.com.

The same body of work also surfaced the radiative heat-transfer insights that led to the ControlAlign™ methodology, now delivered independently at ybgindustrial.com. On ybgglobal.com, that engineering heritage is directed into two practical systems for growers: hydrogen-rich irrigation and oxyhydrogen combustion enhancement for climate control.

Dr. Griffiths leads YBG Group International's strategic direction, manufacturing standards, and long-term deployment partnerships across horticultural and industrial markets.

Timeline

The real progression from early combustion engineering to the present AgTech platform. Stages 1–5 are genuine company history; Stages 6 and 7 describe the current group structure.

Stage 01
Early combustion enhancement work
Dr. Peter Griffiths' field engineering on combustion-side performance in thermal assets, including oxyhydrogen deployment programs across Indian biomass-fired steam boilers.
Stage 02
Radiative heat-transfer discovery
Empirical observation that sustained double-digit steam-to-fuel ratio gains could not be explained by combustion chemistry alone — surfacing heat-transfer performance as the dominant unmanaged degree of freedom.
Stage 03
Methodology codification
Translation of operational findings into reproducible interpretation methods derived from the plant's own operating record.
Stage 04
Doctrinal framework development
Formalisation of combustion-vs-heat-transfer, best-demonstrated-performance, and operational-drift doctrines as institutionally citable references.
Stage 05
Regulatory & standards alignment
Architecture aligned with ISO-style management principles, M&V practice, historian-data traceability, and emerging carbon-accounting expectations.
Stage 06
Formation of YBG Group International
International structuring (Australia, Hong Kong) to support cross-border industrial deployment and long-term transition initiatives.
Stage 07
Development of both platform lines
ControlAlign™ (now delivered via ybgindustrial.com) and horticultural AgTech systems (irrigation + climate control, delivered via ybgglobal.com).
