Reduction accreditation
for greenhouse gas emissions

Xbee® can significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants as has been clearly demonstrated by various measurements you will find summarized below.

1) Diesel:
Ascal laboratory has measured pollutant gas emissions from a sample of the city of Saumur’s bus network (managed by Veolia Transport).

As an example, the average emissions measured (CO2, CO, NO, NOx, and VOC) were reduced by 12.27%. On this basis, it has been proved that a fleet of one hundred buses could reduce its CO2 emissions by nearly 250 tons per year by using Xbee®!

2) Biodiesel:
In California (United States), the University of Berkeley’s Combustion Analysis Laboratory measured the impact of Xbee® biotechnology on two types of fuels: biodiesel based on a mix of various recycled vegetable oils, and virgin soy oil.
The notable results from these measurements is that an Xbee® biodiesel also reduced NOx emissions contrary to standard biodiesel which tends to increase this type of emission, compared to a Diesel in compliance with currently applicable standards (CARB Diesel has a low sulphur content).

3 ) Marine Diesel:
An internal evaluation by a major dredging company in the Netherlands observed some very interesting results: a net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a direct impact on fuel consumption.
The measurements were made by the Envirotech Consultancy WLL laboratory, accredited in Bahrain. All the formulae were calculated by the dredging company’s engineers. They worked in compliance with the International Maritime Organization’s E2 directive for weighting various engine loads.

4) Marine HFO 380 Heavy Fuel Oil:
This clear tend in decreased harmful gas emissions has been verified many times, including on engines running on IFO 380 heavy fuel oil.
Such is the case of Brittany Ferries’ Mont St. Michel ferry. Measurements were taken on-board by Ascal Laboratory. After two months using fuel improved with the Xbee® fuel additive, the average gaz emissions decreased by 24.56%. After one year, CO2 alone had decreased by 11%. This represents nearly 45,000 fewer tons of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere per year for a fleet like this ferry company’s.

5) Land HFO 5 Heavy Fuel Oil:
The same consequences on emissions have been measured and observed in Spain by the Ambio laboratory, a subsidiary of Dekra. This laboratory’s engineers analyzed the emissions from the thermal electricity production plant managed by Frinsa del Noroeste.

The generators use IFO 380 Heavy Fuel Oil improved with the Xbee® fuel additive for six months, demonstrating a significant decrease in gas emission, 22.20% in average.
