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.

Xbee Bio-additive  for all  fuels of all  ships

Product issued of biotechnology  based upon  natural active principles of enzymes extracted from leaves, the Xbee bio-additive has a robust commercial experience in the maritime sector of more than 10 years;
It is applicable at 1 to 4000 (1 liter of Xbee for each 4000 liters of fuel) to all  fuels (Diesel, MDO, light and heavy fuel oils) of all ships: cable ships, tug boats, fishing vessels (trawlers and tunny boats), dredgers, freighters, ferries...

Recognized by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) as substantially similar to a fuel and analyzed by DNV - Det Norske Veritas - as being totally free from chemical components, the Xbee bio-additive strictly complies with quality norms currently in force (EN228, EN590, ISO 9217 analyses made by Intertek Caleb Brett laboratory) hence ensuring full compliance with engines manufacturers warrantee conditions.

Xbee allows:

- A better maintenance of ships and a longer life of engines: clean tanks, elimination of muds and bacteria, a more complete combustion producing a better engine yield and the elimination of carbon deposits
- A substantial reduction of the pollution: much less emissions of CO2, CO, Nox and particles in the atmosphere.
- An economy of overconsumption, both on fuel and lubricant.

Salaün Autocars is certified ISO 14001 since April 2010, it is the first French coach company to be grante this norm. Said norm is based on the capacity to improve the sustainability of the environmental impact linked to the company's activities. Salaün Autocars purchased lately a dozen of last generation Astronef and Astromega coaches by Vanhool. These panoramic double deck coaches are very comfortable, equipped with tilted floors and glass ceilings. These coaches are powered with Xbee diesel to preserve our environment. Salaün Autocars is a member of the label "Produit en Bretagne" (Made in Brittany).
