Secretary Chu announces $408m in Recovery Act funding for new technologies to advance carbon capture and storage

US Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu has announced that projects by Basin Electric Power Cooperative and Hydrogen Energy International have been selected for up to $408m in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The two projects selected - an existing power plant in North Dakota and a new facility in California - will incorporate advanced technologies to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

   Hello! I write to draw your attention to a breakthrough energy-efficient technology and product which can help the United States’ effort to “decrease the country’s energy bill, the amount of carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere and our dependency on foreign oil” right now. Our nanotechnology fuel products, perfected over years of R&D and on the actual road use, are ready and proven. They can dramatically improve fuel economy, increase power, reduce toxic emissions and protect the environment. We’d like to bring it to Secretary Chu’s attention and urge the DOE to evaluate our products even the products have been tested by TNO, the prestigious independent testing laboratory in EU (with its reputation equal to that of Southwest Research Institute (SRI)of U.S.A.) and many years successful actual real-life driving for over 20 billion of miles.

   We would also like to let Secretary Chu know that there is energy-efficient environmentally friendly technology from California right now which can reduce CO2 and cut transportation fuel consumption more than 5%. Our technology was developed in the U.S. and our products are made in the U.S., just waiting to be used.

   Can you help

   Sincerely,
