The Novotel Lotus Hotel expects to save more than $1.6 million (THB) each year in fuel costs and substantially reduce the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG’s) it releases into the environment as the first off-grid city center corporate hotel in Asia to deploy the Etorus FE, a leading fuel saving technology.

Bangkok, Thailand, June 24, 2008 — The Novotel Lotus Hotel expects to save more than $1.6 million (THB) each year in fuel costs and substantially reduce the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG’s) it releases into the environment as the first off-grid city center corporate hotel in Asia to deploy the Etorus FE, a leading fuel saving technology.

The hotel property employs two large high speed/high density diesel fuel fired boilers to operate steam powered generators and produce hot water. The boilers together typically consume more than 30,000 liters of fuel per month.

“Our objectives are to be a good neighbor by reducing emissions of soot and carbon gases into the atmosphere and to simultaneously save money on fuel costs,” said Ramesh Khendry, general manager for Novotel Lotus Hotel and the Regency Park Hotel in Bangkok. “We are accomplishing both with the Etorus FE fuel saving technology, and we have been very successful in reducing fuel consumption and limiting carbon released into the environment.”

The Novotel Lotus Hotel expects to save about 60,000 liters of fuel annually, which translates to a cost savings of more than $1.6 million (THB), or $50,000 USD.

In an unaudited report by an external agency, when GHG trials began in April 2007, carbon monoxide (CO) output levels were reported at 49 parts per million (ppm). After installation of the device, CO levels dropped to 13 ppm, and carbon dioxide was reduced by over 17%.

The Etorus FE is currently used throughout the world to reduce fuel consumption and emissions in a number of applications, including fleet trucks, buses, locomotives, generators, boilers, furnaces, marine vessels and heavy off-road construction and mining equipment. Etorus, Inc. is a privately held United States-based global provider of business solutions for energy and environmental issues. For more information, visit http://www.nwgreenfleet.com.

In addition to the Novotel Lotus, Master Com Engineering Company Limited, the Thailand distributor located in Bangkok, has sold the Etorus FE to Thai Beverage, Isuzu Motors, Rubia Industrial, Apex Plastic, and other companies in the region to increase efficiency in a variety of oil fire burner/boiler and diesel fueled engine applications.

“Through Etorus in the United States, we are able to offer our customers a unique product, excellent engineering support, and a quick response that allows them to immediately save on fuel costs, while reducing their emissions,” said Visit Ungwajanon, general manager for Master Com Engineering Company Limited. “Compared to other fuel saving technologies we have evaluated, the Etorus FE exceeds the results of any other products in terms of fuel cost and emissions reductions. Our customers are experiencing fuel consumption reductions averaging 5-15% and can reduce GHG’s by 10-30%.”

Rentar Fuel Catalyst
Effects On Engines Using Bio-diesel

Bio-diesel is being encouraged in many states today. Bio-diesel has its advantages and disadvantages. Learn more about Bio-diesel by going to the U.S. Department of Energy website: http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/altfuel/biodiesel.html

The Rentar Fuel Catalyst offsets two of the disadvantages. The cost of Bio-diesel is a little more per gallon but is offset with the Rentar Fuel catalyst by the improvement of fuel consumption. Another disadvantage of Bio-diesel is it burns hotter creating increased NOx. The Rentar Fuel Catalyst is proven to reduce NOx thus offsetting the increase.

Rentar was awarded a 3 year contract with the State of Delaware to sell Rentar Fuel Catalyst for Bio-diesel applications. In addition to being installed on some large state equipment, Rentar is currently being purchased by the State to be provided to farmers, at no cost to the farmer, to exempt the farmer from regulation if the farmer agrees to use Bio-diesel and the Rentar Fuel Catalyst.

The United States Army’s Aberdeen Proving Ground extensively tested the Rentar Fuel Catalyst using Bio-diesel, using the EPA testing equipment and reported a 6.6% reduction in fuel Consumption and 8.5% reduction in the Greenhouse Gas CO2. (See complete published report)

Virginia Tech University publishes study for the State of Delaware comparing number 2 diesel fuel, Bio-Diesel (20-80) fuel and the effects the Rentar Fuel Catalyst had on both fuels.

Bio-diesel offers many positive benefits except it usually costs more because of the special blending and it produces increased NOx emissions. The Rentar Fuel Catalyst offsets both of these possible negatives.

The State of Delaware retained Virginia Tech University to study the performance of number 2 diesel fuel compared to number 2 diesel fuel used with a Rentar Fuel Catalyst and how number 2 diesel fuel compares to Bio-diesel (20-80) and Bio-diesel used with a Rentar Fuel Catalyst.

The study, conducted at the Everett Meredith Middle School, was paid for by the Delaware Department of Agriculture, the Delaware Soybean Board, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Control (DNREC) and the Appoquinimink School District.

RESULTS – Fuel Consumption (exact quotes from report - see Page 7)
“The Rentar Catalyst DECREASED the number 2 fuel oil use by
7.6 PERCENT with greater than 99% confidence.”
“The Rentar Catalyst DECREASED the B20 (Bio-diesel 20-80) use by
5.7 PERCENT with greater than 99% confidence;

RESULTS – NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) (exact quotes from report - see Page 8)
Using number 2 diesel fuel as a baseline and number 2 diesel fuel with a Rentar Fuel Catalyst installed the following result was published: “The NOx concentration showed a REDUCTION OF 13 PERCENT using the Rentar Fuel Catalyst.”

As expected, the use of Bio-diesel increase NOx. The use of the Rentar Fuel Catalyst reduced that increase. (exact quotes from report - see Page 10 paragraph 6.3.2.2) “ The emissions of NOx of B20 INCREASED 10% over number 2 oil and INCREASED only 7% with B20 using the Rentar Fuel Catalyst A REDUCTION OF 3%.

OTHER RESULTS – Change in Emissions When Firing Number 2 oil with and without the Rentar Catalyst. (See page 8 and 9)

NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) REDUCTION OF 13 PERCENT
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) REDUCTION OF 9 PERCENT
CO (Carbon Monoxide) REDUCTION OF 4 PERCENT
SO2 (Sulfur Dioxide) REDUCTION OF 21 PERCENT
THC (Total Hydrocarbons) REDUCTION OF 13 PERCENT

The study was called the EFFECT OF RENTAR FUEL CATALYST ON EMISSIONS AND EFFICIENCY FROM A COMMERCIAL BOILER USING NUMBER 2 OIL AND B-20 SOYBEAN BLEND.

Unalaska, Alaska

“The more fuel prices rise, the greater the savings we will pass on to our customers by using this fuel saving technology,” said Dan Winters, the director of public utilities at the City of Unalaska’s Department of Public Utilities. “We made a commitment to this community to operate our generators in the most cost efficient manner possible and in doing so, go green and stay green, and this is a great solution to help clean up the environment while simultaneously reducing our fuel consumption and costs.”

“Our initial response was that this was just another snake oil product, but when we further investigated, read the research results, and then checked the company’s references, we decided to try it,” said Jim Fitch, the City of Unalaska’s power plant supervisor. “We continually monitor our fuel consumption by employing advanced technology including flow meters, and after the first week, it had dropped by more than 5%, which is a huge savings when you use more than 2 million gallons of fuel every year. At today’s fuel prices, this translates to $0.20 per gallon in fuel savings for our city, which will amount to about $2 million over five years. We were so excited when we first saw the results that we kept checking every hour to see how much more fuel we had saved. Now after four months, we are consistently saving over 5% in fuel consumption and costs while reducing our emissions.”

North America’s Second Largest Auto Transporter Accelerates Deployment of Etorus FE - Auto News from December 05, 2007
ALLEN PARK, Mich., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ — Performance Transportation Services, Inc. (PTS), North America’s second largest transporter of new automobiles, sport utility vehicles and light trucks, announced today that it will accelerate its deployment of the Etorus FE in-line fuel consumption and emissions reduction device in its fleet of more than eighteen hundred tractor/trailer transport combinations.

The Etorus FE technology is currently installed in nearly 10% of the PTS fleet, and results in fuel savings of over $2,000 per truck, per year, according to a third party monitoring company, National Energy Control Services, Inc. (NECS). In addition to the fuel savings is a corresponding reduction in emissions of soot and harmful greenhouse gases, including nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2) — two leading known contributors to global warming.

“We first installed the Etorus FE in 2006, and our fuel savings, which are monitored by an independent company, continue to be exceptional,” said Jeff Cornish, the chief executive officer of PTS. “We are particularly pleased with the Etorus Pay Per Save(TM) program, which allows us to immediately install the technology and realize fuel savings without any associated capital expenditure or risk, while reducing our emissions in the process.”

The unique Etorus Pay Per Save program is designed for companies to gain the benefits of the fuel reduction solutions offered by Etorus without any capital expenditure or risk, by simply sharing a portion of their fuel savings after they have occurred. The shared savings figures are based on data provided by a third-party service provider, National Energy Control Services, Inc. (NECS) of Indiana. NECS monitors, verifies and calculates the dollar value of the fuel savings achieved with the Etorus FE installed.

“Our cost-effective business solutions for energy and environmental issues provide us with great opportunities to help companies running diesel- and biodiesel-based fuel — in trucking, mining, marine and other industrial applications — to reduce fuel costs by as much as 10 percent, with no up-front capital risk or investment,” said Shraga Agam, the president and chief executive officer of Etorus, Inc. “The types of programs we offer can easily help reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, such as those being experienced by the trucking and commercial harbor craft industries at the California Ports. Companies doing business at these Ports have historically been resistant to regulation because of the high costs associated with implementing changes to their equipment in order to be in compliance.

“With the Etorus FE installed using our Pay Per Save program, truckers and marine fleet owners can not only take action to help be in compliance with new emission reduction regulations, but can actually boost their bottom lines in the process by saving up to 10 percent on their fuel costs,” Agam said. “The companies involved can experience significant benefits financially, and we all would benefit environmentally. There is really no downside under the Pay Per Save program, and if for whatever reason a customer of ours decides to stop using the product, he can terminate the contract rather than being left with a ‘dead asset’.”

Truckers Back a National 65-mph Speed Limit

http://www.usnews.com/blogs/beyond-the-barrel/2008/3/26/truckers-back-a-national-65-mph-speed-limit.html

A highway slowdown has begun in response to high energy prices—and the big trucking companies are leading the way. Con-Way Freight, one of the nation’s largest trucking firms with 8,500 rigs, has announced it is turning back the electronic speed limiters in its entire fleet from 65 miles per hour to 62 mph.

The company estimates that by keeping its drivers below that speed, it will save 3.2 million gallons of diesel fuel a year, while eliminating 72 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions—the equivalent of removing 7,300 automobiles from the nation’s highways. And with diesel fuel at the current price of about $4 per gallon, Con-Way will be saving $12.8 million per year, a significant figure for a company that saw its operating income drop 27 percent last year to $235 million.

Now that fuel for the first time has surpassed labor as the most significant cost for many trucking companies, it’s not surprising that they are taking steps to save. But here’s the tricky part. They want all of us to do the same.

The American Trucking Associations is calling for a nationwide 65-mph speed limit—not only to save fuel but as a matter of safety. “It would prevent a differential of speeds between trucks and cars, where you have cars weaving in and out to get by trucks,” says Clayton Boyce, spokesman for ATA. He says 77 percent of the ATA’s member companies have electronic speed limiters set at 68 mph—with many of them, like Con-Way, now opting for even lower speeds.

It probably would take an act of Congress to set a 65-mph national speed limit, because, as we reported here, it was Congress that repealed the much lower 55-mph national limit that was credited in part for the short-lived reduction in national fuel demand in the 1970s.

Last week, the trucking association also renewed its call for a federal regulation that would require that newly manufactured trucks have electronic speed limiters installed that can be set no higher than 68 mph. No problem for the big trucking companies, most of which already are slowing down. But expect resistance from smaller, independent trucking owner-operators. In the Canadian province of Ontario, the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association is opposing a move for a 65-mph speed limit, disputing the greenhouse gas and safety impact. “OOIDA officials believe that speed-limited trucks will be stuck in the right lane, cause problems with merging traffic, and result in ‘elephant races’ when trucks cannot pass one another,” says the association’s magazine, Land Line.

When I asked Boyce of the ATA about the competitive issues at play, he said, “Some independent owner-operators want to drive faster so they can make more miles in a day and earn more money. The large companies understand that they’ll save money on insurance, engine wear, maintenance problems, and fuel that make up that difference in distance per day.”

I’m sure that many of the independent drivers understand those economics as well, but it is worth pointing out that if the big trucking companies are under financial pressure because of record-high diesel fuel prices—which they most assuredly are—the squeeze is even greater on small businesses without major capital resources behind them. Roughly 500,000, or about 16 percent, of the nation’s 3.1 million commercial drivers are independent owner-operators.

It’s a tough issue that requires strong leadership, but when every 1-mph reduction in truck speed yields a 0.1-mpg increase in fuel efficiency, it’s a problem that can’t be ignored. A spokeswoman for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that the ATA’s petition on speed limiters—which was filed back in October 2006 when diesel was about $2.50 a gallon—is still under review.

By JOSEPH COLEMAN, Associated Press Writer
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - With global markets in turmoil and the U.S. threatened by recession, negotiators at a climate change conference are asking: can nations afford to make rapid cuts in emissions to fight global warming without going into an economic tailspin?

The price of slashing the carbon dioxide emissions blamed for global warming is expected to be high, but proponents of firm action argue that delay will cost more in the long run.

“If you start having water supply problems in Peru, Chile and, a little further down the road, India and China, what are the global economic implications of that?” said Alden Meyer, of the Union of Concerned Scientists.

The argument for quick action is that a climate pact would actually spur economic growth through new industries such as clean technology.

U.N. climate chief Yvo de Boer said businesses are eager for clear environmental guidelines so they can plan their investments accordingly.

“The current economic uncertainly makes it all the more important for governments to provide clarity on where they intend to go on this issue,” he said.

The United Nations launched talks this week in Thailand aimed at forging a new global warming pact by the end of 2009. It is hoped a new pact will help control greenhouse gas emissions and prevent rising temperatures from triggering an environmental disaster.

Rising sea levels, droughts and crop damage - already linked to global warming - can severely strain entire economies.

But the costs of reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere will be great.

Japan, for instance, recently issued a report estimating it would cost $500 billion just to cut domestic emissions 11 percent from 2005 levels by 2020. A separate estimate says cutting greenhouse gases would cost about 1 percent of global GDP annually.

U.S. climate negotiator Harlan Watson said such costs need to be factored in when deciding how deep the world ought to require industrialized nations to reduce emissions.

“If you push the globe into recession, it certainly isn’t going to help the developing world either,” he said. “Exports go down, and many of the developing countries of course are heavily dependent on exports. So there’s a lot of issues which need to be fleshed out … so people understand the real world.”

World Growth, a pro-business group, argues that quick action on climate change would do more harm than good.

“Immediate and substantial cuts in emissions will rapidly translate into reduced access to energy, lower economic growth and a reduced capacity to roll back poverty,” the group said in a report in December.

The current economic turmoil could draw more attention to the costs of combatting global warming, potentially complicating negotiations to put in place an international agreement to take the place of the Kyoto Protocol when it expires in 2012.

The current round of talks coincides with dire financial times in the United States.

Orders to U.S. factories fell for a second straight month, the government reported this week, reinforcing the fears of economists that believe a prolonged housing slowdown and credit crisis have already pushed the country into recession.

Economic concerns have damaged global warming agreements in the past. The United States, the only industrialized country not to ratify Kyoto, argued in recent years that the greenhouse gas reductions required by the pact would hurt its economy.

The economy hasn’t yet become a major topic in the Bangkok discussions, but it could be a concern in affected countries down the road, said Andrej Kranjc, secretary of Slovenia’s Environment Ministry, speaking for the European Commission in Bangkok.

“It could divert policy makers’ attention from climate change to these problems, of course, and it would be a problem,” he said.

By Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) - A group of state attorneys general is taking the EPA back to court to try to force it to comply with a Supreme Court ruling that rebuked the Bush administration for inaction on global warming.

The high court decided a year ago that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are air pollutants under the Clean Air Act and ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to take action.

But 17 states and others said in a court filing Wednesday that the EPA has not issued a decision on regulation. Their court filing seeks to compel the EPA to act within 60 days.

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley said the EPA is failing to deal with the dangers of global warming.

An EPA spokesman did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment.

The plaintiffs in Wednesday’s court action include Coakley and attorneys general from Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and the District of Columbia, plus the city of New York, and the mayor and city council of Baltimore.
