BARRINGTON, ILLINOIS -- (Marketwire) -- 11/03/10 -- EcoloCap Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: ECOS)
With the U.S. Government expected to seek a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption, future tractor-trailers, school buses, delivery vans, garbage trucks and heavy-duty pickup trucks must do better at the pump to meet first-ever fuel efficiency rules coming from the Obama administration. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department are moving ahead with a proposal for medium and heavy-duty trucks, beginning with those sold in the 2014 model year and into the 2018 model year.
EcoloCap's M-Fuel is an emulsion of 70% diesel and 30% water that is 20% cheaper than diesel, reduces particulate emissions by 98%+ and so fully qualifies for the Government tax credit. After many years of research into water-fuel emulsions in engine applications, the use of these fuels has increasingly become a viable, cleaner alternative to conventional fuels. Several studies have confirmed emissions reductions of NOx, PM and other pollutants in various applications, including highway and stationary engines. EcoloCap is the first company to produce an emulsion fuel that is more efficient than the preprocessed fuel, while reducing particulate emissions by 98+%. In the initial stages of processing M-Fuel, the emission of Sulfur and heavy metals are reduced to 15 parts per million (PPM)
Without any modification of the original engine or the need to introduce new engine technology, M-Fuel meets and exceeds all current proposed government efficiency and emission regulations. Additionally, M-Fuel is 20% cheaper than standard diesel fuel with a Government tax credit of $0.19/gallon for each gallon of M-Fuel burned. At the present cost of $3.00 per gallon for diesel fuel, M-Fuel will save the end user up to $0.80/gallon with the fuel tax credit.

+ The increase in CO2 is directly related to the increase in the
efficiency of the burn. Less fuel is being consumed but all of the fuel is
being burned.
Michael Siegel, CEO states: "We will be delivering the first NPW-30 to R-3 Energy in Cottonwood Falls, KS (30 metric tons/day of biodiesel) as soon as an extensive series of quality control tests are completed.
We plan to set up the NPU-10 (M-Fuel) and NPW-3 (biodiesel) processor in our demonstration facility by the end of the year in the Chicago area in order to demonstrate the unique capabilities of our technology. We are presently in the process of testing bio-diesel production from high fatty acids such as chicken fat, beef tallow and trap grease. Utilizing these feedstocks and the ECOS technology, the NPW-30 can produce bio-diesel for around $0.35 a gallon not including the cost of the feedstock.
