Fuel Efficient and Clean Emissions
Ronz/Rich ET AL.
From the Jan 12th news release:
"Further to this objective, the Corporation has shipped and installed three Jetstar(tm) units on a private fleet for the purposes of testing and demonstrating compliance with the State of California's emission reduction targets.
Initial baseline emission testing of these units (prior to installation of the Jetstar(tm)) has been conducted by the Air Pollution Control District of the San Joaquin Valley.
It is expected that the three units will be operated for a period of roughly two to three months, following which the District will be asked to re-evaluate the emissions of these three vehicles. Although the Corporation has recently completed its own independent third party testing (see the Corporation's news release dated December 2,2008), it is recognized and understood that additional testing will need to be conducted by recognized, accredited, California-based agencies in order to gain market and governmental acceptance in the State of California.
Once the results of the foregoing evaluation are completed, it is expected that the Corporation, with the assistance of HydroFuel LLC, will submit those results to the California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board.
The Corporation is unable to provide a reliable estimate on the timing for completion of this testing and evaluation, but will provide further updates as they become available."
Base on this news release they are waiting for 2-3 months of road use of these units. Have the EMISSIONS retested for the units then submit the results to the California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resource Board. ( I will assume this is CARB.)
Therefore CARB will evaluate the results and say YEA or NAY, to certify the jetstar as a device that can reduce emissions, to meet or exceed the required emissions reduction for their state law.
If it's a YEA, Monies from the state and Federal government should be available to the end user and developer.
From what I see CARB won't be testing this unit more than evaluating results from a California State recognized testing facility. (Air Pollution Control District of the San Joaquin Valley)
