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).

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.
