Mexico Expands ``Emision Zero'' Program With Biofriendly's Green Plus(R) Fuel Catalyst

Posted on: Friday, 16 June 2006, 15:00 CDT

Biofriendly Corporation announced today that cities in two states in Mexico have joined the pollution-fighting "Emision Zero" program through the use of Biofriendly's liquid fuel combustion catalyst Green Plus(R).

The city of Zapopan (population 1.5 million) in the State of Jalisco and the city of Manzanillo (population 200,000) in the State of Colima passed official resolutions requiring the use of Green Plus in their city gasoline and diesel vehicles. The two municipalities join the city of Guzman in Jalisco in embracing the Emision Zero program, which calls for significantly reduced vehicle emissions.

The State of Jalisco in conjunction with the Congress, the Minister of Environment, the Minister of Transportation and the Director of the State's mandatory emissions control program conducted official testing and determined that Green Plus lowered opacity (exhaust smoke) over 50% on more than 85% of the test vehicles. The City Council and Mayor of Zapopan, Jalisco's second largest city, passed the resolution after reviewing these and other test results.

The State of Colima, utilizing the State's emissions monitoring equipment, performed a test for the Mayor, City Council, Port Authority, Transportation, and Environmental officials for Manzanillo and concluded that Green Plus showed an average reduction in Carbon Monoxide and Hydrocarbons of 60%. Based on these and other results the City Council of Manzanillo passed a resolution adopting the use of Green Plus in gasoline and diesel city vehicles. Manzanillo is the largest and most important container port on the west coast of Mexico and is home to Mexico's Pacific Naval fleet.

Congressman (Diputado) Luis Alejandro Rodriguez, President of the State of Jalisco Congressional Environmental Commission, said, "We have a responsibility to the citizens of Mexico to improve the quality of life and to reduce harmful pollution. We believe these actions demonstrate that commitment."

"We have been working with Mexican authorities and our distributor, Correct Action Mexico, for a long time to introduce the advantages of Green Plus to Mexico. Demonstrating both emissions reductions and fuel economy improvements makes Green Plus attractive because it more than pays for itself while reducing pollution," said Jim D'Arezzo, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Biofriendly Corporation.
