Friday, October 22, 2010 Georgia group matches local energy company with terminal operator for fuel efficiency The Georgia Center of Innovation (COI) for Logistics announced its role connecting a local start-up energy company with a major terminal operator at the Port of Savannah to test its “fuel treatment” designed to make significant advances in fuel efficiency. EnAid Energy, LLC, a new Georgia-based, woman-owned business, recently completed a field study of solutions in Savannah designed for companies seeking to lower emissions, increase fuel efficiency, the COI for Logistics said in a statement. The COI for Logistics said it connected EnAid Energy with Peeples Industries, one of the Port of Savannah’s bulk commodity terminal operators, to field test EnAid’s fuel efficiency solutions for diesel fuel. Peeples Industries conducted 172 hours of field-testing and evaluation of the fuel treatment’s effect on performance and emissions. The result was a 15 percent or better improvement in fuel efficiency using EnAid Formula 3-14 for diesel fuel, according to the COI for Logistics. “When we were asked to participate in this pilot, I wanted to be sure that there was a positive effect on the bottom line,” said Frank Peeples, Jr., CEO of Peeples Industries, Inc. “Our company uses approximately 60,000 gallons of diesel fuel per year, and based on the results of our pilot, this means we could conserve more than 9,000 gallons every year. That’s a really positive impact on our bottom line and the environment. We are now excited to see what impact EnAid’s treatments will have when deployed more widely across our equipment.” More Newswire stories India to introduce carbon credits for short sea shipping Georgia Pacific embarks on $300 mil technology upgrade to Louisiana mill Chiquita goes with PAR Logistics for product monitoring NYC joins Microsoft’s cloud	Click to browse past stories on these topics: Logistics Ports & Infrastructure Economic Outlook Environmental Impact Technology
