Improving Air Quality In Our Communities

Posted on September 14th, 2009 by admin

It may not be sexy but by voluntarily reducing engine idling Verizon employees cut fuel consumption by more than 1 million gallons (equivalent to taking some 1,600 cars off the road for a year).

Overall, Verizons conservation efforts in 2008 alone reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 303,000 metric tons, the equivalent of taking more than 55,500 cars off the road.

Verizons carbon intensity is approximately nine times below the U.S. average, as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Verizons rate of 64 metric tons of CO2 emissions per million dollars in revenue represents a year-over-year improvement of 3 percent. The company remains committed to finding practical and innovative ways to increase energy efficiency and bolster conservation efforts.

In 2008, Verizon launched a pilot project that reduced the energy used by computers and monitors by installing software to remotely shut off computers not in use. Once this initiative is extended throughout the company, the projected energy savings are expected to be equivalent to the annual energy needs of 88,000 homes.

Verizon also operates the largest fuel cell site of its kind in the nation. The companys Energy Star Award-winning facility in Garden City, N.Y., uses seven fuel cells capable of generating enough electrical power per hour to meet the energy needs of 400 single-family homes.

Air Car by Guy Negre on The Science Channel

Posted on August 30th, 2009 by admin

Guy Negre of MDI Air Car engine that runs on compressed air. Emissions are only filtered air that’s cleaner than outside air. 300 bars of pressure in carbon-fibre & kevlar air tanks. Car can travel at 110 km/hr and has a 150 km driving range. Refilling can be done by plugging in at home or at a special high-pressure air station. Dual-energy models use small amounts of bio-fuels that can extend the range to over 1400 kms.

Pollution free vehicle that produces zero emissions. When the car stops at traffic lights, the engine stops so no energy is lost because there’s no idling.

Go to http://www.catvolution.com for more information.

Dipetane-Improves fuel economy by 13% and reduces emissions

Posted on August 27th, 2009 by admin

Available in the USA at www.dipetanenortheast.com

Dipetane, invented in Ireland 20 years ago, has been proven to reduce fuel consumption by 13% and reduce emissions by 25%. Independant test labs in Ireland, Europe, Asia and America have verified Dipetane’s performance.

What is Dipetane?
Dipetane is a 100% hydrocarbon fuel catalyst that enabling gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, ULSD, heating oil and bunker fuels to burn more efficiently thus improving fuel economy while reducing emissions.

Dipetane releases more chemical energy available from fuel, resulting in more power and better mileage. It also helps burns more carbons that would normally cause carbon deposit build-up, therefore extending both oil and engine life.

What are the Benefits of Dipetane?
• Increases fuel economy by 9 -15%.
• Reduces emissions significantly.
• Burns away carbon deposits from the combustion chamber.
• Dipetane treated fuels actually burn cooler, significantly reducing nitrous oxide.
• Reduces black smoke.
• Meets or exceeds fuel specifications. No change to ASTM fuel specifications.
• No changes to engines or fuel systems or EOM specs.
• Cleans the fuel injectors and keeps them clean.
• Lubricates fuel injection pumps and injectors.
• Extends engine life.
• Cleans tanks and supply lines of sludge and heavy deposits
• Dipetane splash blends with fuel requiring no further circulation.
• Blends at a ratio of 1:200; 1 gallon of Dipetane treats 200 gallons of fuel.
• Treats fuel @1/2% by volume (under EPA 1% rule)
• Increases available horsepower.
• Dipetane has a longer stability life than diesel fuel or gasoline.
• Adds lubricity to fuel.
• Higher flashpoint than ULSD fuel.
• Certified for use un ultra-low diesel fuel
• Most economical technology in the world today. Requires no capital investment.

V6 dCi Concept engine - Karmavision

Posted on August 25th, 2009 by admin

http://karmavision.tv/video/400/v6_dci_concept_engine.html

The 3.0-liter V6 dCi Concept. The V6 dCi Concept is a preview of a coming new generation of 3.0-liter V6 diesel engines. The new 2,993cc block is derived from the 2.0 dCi engine, with which it shares 25% of its components. The engine develops 195 kW (261 hp) of power and maximum torque of 550 Nm (406 lb ft) at 1,750 rpm with targeted CO2 emissions of less than 200g/km. The common rail fuel injection system uses two rails pressurized at 1,800 bar which supply 7-hole piezo-electric injectors. This configuration supports up to five injections per cycle. “Ultra-fast” ceramic technology glow plugs enable almost instantaneous preheating and cold starting.
