How it Works

NewGen's technology creates a 'denser charge' in the engine for more complete combustion. As a result, dramatic reductions are achieved in harmful emissions (see below).

Particulate Matter Base -10% -12% -25% -15% -43%
NOx Base -2% +2% +0% -10% -9%

Similar results have been demonstrated with petrol blends. The technology can also be adapted to other applications including marine, aviation, rail, 2-stroke engine fuels, as well as stationary equipment (power generation, chemical plant, mining, etc.).

In addition to the improvements in emissions shown above, the fuel efficiency gains from use of NewGen fuels correlate directly to reductions in Carbon Dioxide emissions. Carbon Dioxide is the major component in engine exhaust, and has been shown to be the key emission contributing to global warming. Introduction of NewGen products in the fuel supply chain can create emissions credits, global currency for all countries that have ratified the Kyoto Protocol.

Saves Money

NewGen fuels increase fuel efficiency vs. base fuels (see below), at a cost of approximately $0.02/gallon. Based on the current cost of fuel, this is an investment that typically yields 100-500% return for the end user. On a macro-economic scale, the improvements in fuel efficiency decrease total consumption of petroleum-based fuels, thereby decreasing dependence on imported oil.

Similar testing has been conducted for petrol, with test results showing a minimum expected 7% improvement in fuel efficiency. In addition to the economics of fuel efficiency improvements and Carbon emissions trading, benefits include the new industry offered by producing a home-grown fuel supply. This further reduces dependence on oil imports, creates farming opportunities, and produces local jobs in a sustainable fuel processing industry.

Based on the current status and trends of oil prices, BioFuels are an economically viable alternative to petrol and diesel. New technologies for BioFuels are also decreasing production costs and increasing crop and processing yield.
