Alternative Petroleum Technologies Enters Phase II of Agreement With Port of Los Angeles

LUXEMBOURG, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Alternative Petroleum Technologies S.A. ("APT") announced today that it completed an important element in the second phase of its agreement with the Port of Los Angeles by concluding a third-party emission evaluation of its emulsified biodiesel fuel.  APT's proprietary fuel is being used in conjunction with the Technology Advancement Program, an initiative of the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan, a joint initiative between the Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles.

The results generated by a leading independent diesel engine emissions lab in California, Olson EcoLogic Engine Testing Laboratories include the mitigation of the 5% increase in oxides of nitrogen (NOx) created by a B-20 biodiesel baseline; an improvement of the particulate matter (PM) reduction associated with the same B20 biodiesel to nearly 30%; and the reduction the total hydrocarbon (THC) emissions by 5%.
