ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Feb. 20, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- World Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:WEGY), a company focused on energy conservation technologies and environmental sustainability, announced today that while utilizing the company's proprietary hydrogen/oxygen system in a prototype car, it successfully dropped hydrocarbon emissions over 91% and carbon monoxide emissions over 99%, when measured exiting out of the tailpipe.
Ben Croxton, CEO of World Energy Solutions, Inc., said, "We ran several tests on our system using state-of-the-art emissions testing technology. Even in our lowest readings we achieved a 78% reduction of hydrocarbons and a 50% reduction in carbon monoxide. It is our mission as a company to attain 99%+ reduction on all tailpipe emissions on any automobile retrofitted with our system. It is important to note that these tests continue to maintain a 24%+ reduction in fuel consumption from our system. We feel that these results further validate our technology and mark one step closer to World Energy Solutions becoming a leader in reducing fuel consumption and emissions in today's automobiles."
The Company's proprietary hydrogen/oxygen system has the potential to offer a cost-effective method of introducing the power and efficiency of hydrogen as a fuel source. The addition of hydrogen and oxygen into the combustion chamber burns the fuel more completely resulting in lower emissions and an increase in fuel economy. Adding hydrogen and oxygen to the fuel increases the rate of the burn, so that almost all of the fuel is ignited -- producing more power. World Energy Solution's hydrogen-oxygen enhanced Honda automobile continues to demonstrate a 24% reduction in fuel consumption and now verifiable and quantifiable emissions reductions.
