A
Small San Diego Company is Playing a Big Role in Reducing
Air Pollution and Gas Cost
San Diego, CA (BlackNews.com) - In two years, when athletes and fans head to Beijing, China to take part in the 2008 Olympics, they can thank a fuel additive produced by Ethos Environmental Inc., a company located in San Diego, CA for the cleaner air they'll breathe. The same can be said about Shanghai when they host the 2010 World Cup.
"With the Olympics coming to Beijing, we want to show the
world we are doing something to help the environment," says
Yi Li Wang, who in 2005, was chairman of human resources,
and also the highest-ranking woman in the Chinese government.
She is also executive chairman of Globalization Economic Cooperation
& Promotion Network Ltd., a company half owned by the Chinese
government. About a dozen products were tested, but only Ethos
passed the test. "Ethos is a natural, nontoxic product," Wang
says, "and has no afterburning." This means it does not create
any additional emissions, as do petrochemical-based additives
and ethanol. What's more, it's been found to reduce fuel consumption
enough to pay for itself.
Ethos
Environmental's product Ethos Fuel Reformulator, or
EthosFR, is an ester-based product which cleans and
lubricates an engine's internal parts without using
petroleum-derived solvents. It acts like soap, removing
carbon deposits and reducing friction. This improves
engine performance, reducing fuel consumption as well
as significantly reducing emissions, causing fuel to
burn more completely, which improves fuel mileage. Exhaust
is essentially unburned fuel, wasted fuel, so when the
fuel is used more completely the engine delivers better
mileage from every tank. Efficient fuel use also means
improved engine performance because a more complete
combustion process obtains increased power from each
engine revolution.
Sales in the United States account for only a fraction
of the companies total revenue, however. A number of
commercial truck fleet operators use the fuel additive,
the U.S. Marine Corps adds the product to the fuel burned
in its hovercrafts, and the U.S. State Department ordered
EthosFR for its Humvees in Iraq earlier this year.
"It's
like gold," says Jerry Schnitzius, general manager of
Pacific Waste Services, the San Diego division of the
Houston- based Allied Waste Industries, the second largest
trash collecting company in the U.S. "By combining it
with biodiesel, it reduced emissions from our trucks
by 64 to 66 percent, and after we added it to the crankcase
oil, it improved another 12 percent." The company's
cars have shown a 10 percent improvement in gas mileage.
"It saves us money. It's also the right thing to do,"
Schnitzius says, noting that neither he nor the company
has any financial interest in Ethos Environmental.
Ethos Environmental Inc. has plans to ramp up domestic
marketing. The 4 E corporation will be the distributor
of EthosFR. They launched their network marketing pre-launch
in March and more then 60,000 members have joined. Consumers
will save money at the pump and it will help their vehicles
pass smog tests.
