UK firm
SulNOx Fuel Fusions Plc - a producer of fuel/water emulsions (commonly known as 'emulsified fuel') - is due to demonstrate its technology to an audience of ship owners, marine industry professionals, politicians, other business people and the media in
London on October 1, at 5.45 p.m.
The demonstration is scheduled be made on an 8-metre Scorpion Rib boat on the forecourt of the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, in the shadow of Westminster Abbey and just a stone's throw from the Houses of Parliament.
The company claims to have developed "the cheapest, safest and highest quality fuel emulsion on the world market today, with the ability to significantly reduce many of the negative environmental impacts caused by the use of hydrocarbons, for both combustion and burning."
SulNOx says that its range of alternatives to mainstream hydrocarbon fuels are able to reduce carbon emissions by over 90 percent at a cost "less than normal" compared to heavy fuel oils (HFO), marine diesel oil (MDO), marine gas oil (MGO), Mazut and biofuels.
In a statement, SulNox said: "Balancing the need to look after the environment, whilst maintaining economic growth, is one of the great challenges of our age. Up until now, the world has been unable to find the answer, and our planet’s environment has paid the price.
"Now, SulNOx believes it has the solution. By using SulNOxEco fuels, the global economy can get on with its day-to-day business without destroying the planet in the process.
"SulNOx wants to fully exploit its unique formula for a fuel/water emulsifier to reduce exhaust pollutants in a sustainable, effective and economic way. SulNOx can increase the efficiency of most combustion and fuel fired engines, help reduce normal engine wear and reduce maintenance costs."
