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.”

U.S. warns deep emission cuts could hurt economies

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.

Washington wants to cut greenhouse gas levels to 1990 rate by 2020

Washington and seven other Western states and Canadian provinces Wednesday staked out a regional goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, partly by creating a trading block for pollution credits and requiring less-polluting vehicles.

The agreement targets a 15 percent reduction in the production of planet-warming gases, compared with 2005 levels, over the next 13 years.

Washington has a more ambitious goal of reducing levels of the gases to 1990 levels by 2020. A wide-ranging panel appointed by Gov. Chris Gregoire is expected to recommend early next year how to meet that goal and go on to slash emissions to 50 percent of 1990 levels by midcentury.

The goal announced Wednesday is for Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington and the provinces of British Columbia and Manitoba. Several other states are observing and could join in the future.

The agreement does not require any states or provinces to do anything they were not already committed to, said Janice Adair of the Washington Ecology Department, who is the state’s representative on the Western Climate Initiative.

However, over the next year, the states and provinces will try to work out the details of a “cap and trade” program.

That would systematically reduce the amount of greenhouse gases allowed to be produced in the states that sign on. Businesses or others that are able to reduce their emissions more than required would be rewarded because they could sell their rights to emit to others who have trouble meeting their goals.

The idea is to provide powerful economic incentives to do the right thing — but working out the details promises to be quite difficult.

“How we do all that and come to the table — eight very different (states and provinces) — and try to negotiate the best deal we can, and not have anyone go away feeling they got rolled, is going to be very difficult,” Adair said.

Several environmental groups welcomed the goal, which Sierra Club spokesman Rob Smith said was “a good first step, but it’s a modest one compared to all that needs to be done.”

Added Smith: “Hopefully this will lead to some pressure for Congress to take this step on a national level.”

Grant Nelson of the Association of Washington Business has been monitoring the state’s efforts.

“We need to move forward very cautiously, and make sure we don’t put our state at a competitive disadvantage,” he said.

Already, though, the states are promising different levels of reductions. Arizona and New Mexico are promising reductions over their 2000 emissions, while Washington and California used 1990 as a base year, promising 15 percent reductions. Oregon used 1990 as a base year and promised a 10 percent cut by 2020.

Governors of the states involved, except Utah, created the Western Climate Initiative in February, pledging to work together to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Utah, British Columbia and Manitoba subsequently joined the group, and a joint announcement by the eight states and provinces Wednesday said all agreed to the regional goal.

“Our collective commitment will build a successful regional system to be linked with other regional efforts across the nation and eventually the world,” California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in a prepared statement released with the announcement.

Each state and province will take steps on its own, but collectively they are committed to design a market-based system such as the cap-and-trade program planned by California.

Steps being taken by individual states include mandating the use of renewable energy sources, imposing performance standards on new power plants and buying alternative-fuel vehicles.
