Revetec's Green Technology

1. Revetec’s technology which is regarded as “Green” engine technology not only uses less fuel but also greatly reduces carbon emissions compared with the current conventional combustion engine.

2. The Revetec Controlled Combustion Engine is a downsized high torque unit that does not utilise the conventional inefficient crankshaft. This is achieved by using two (2) counter rotating trilobate cams which increase the overall mechanical efficiency of a combustion engine by over 25%. The increased efficiency that produces the higher torque, less fuel consumption and reduced carbon emissions.

3. The Revetec engine applies to all internal combustion engines used in land, marine and aerial vehicles, namely, automobile, light aircraft, agricultural, industrial engines, generators and marine use.

4. This engine can be adopted for petrol, diesel, ethanol, CNG and heavy fuel.

5. The Revetec engine is relevant to carbon credit in two (4) main areas:

i. Revetec, in the design and supply of engines, can arguably claim carbon credits. This will involve the engine being evaluated and certified. As a carbon credits producer Revetec can potentially trade its credits in the various exchanges. This is expected to occur as soon as Revetec starts selling or licensing the engines. With the high volume of engines being produced in the long-term the company’s revenue from carbon credit trading will be significant.

There are reports suggesting that a car with a conventional crankshaft produces five (5) metric tones of CO2 each year. The efficiency gains of the Revetec engine can reduce emissions to approximately 3.5 metric tons of CO2.

This will provide each Revetec engine with a saving of 1.5 tonne of CO2 per year. The Chicago Climate Exchange has been trading credits at about $2.16 per tonne of CO2. This trading price is expected to increase as Kyoto Protocol implementation gathers pace. However, the above is subject to formal testing and evaluation of each engine type.

ii. One of the key greenhouse gas reduction projects being undertaken in both industrialised and developing nations is the Landfill Renewable Energy Project. These landfill projects comprises of a gas extraction system to extract landfill gas with an internal combustion engine utilising the landfill gas to generate electricity. The electricity generated at the plant can be sold back to the local electricity grid. Projects of this type can also claim carbon credits which entitles the operation to trade in carbon credits from the combustion of extracted gas.
iii. The Revetec Generator (Genset) is expected to play a significant role in these landfill projects or any other projects which require the use of a generator. The Revetec engine will not only be more efficient and will reduce emissions but will be cheaper to operate as it uses much less fuel than a conventional combustion engine. We expect that landfill project operators will find our technology attractive to their projects. This will give the operator a much higher profit margin in addition to an increase in carbon credits.
iv. It is Revetec’s contention that landfill projects using a conventional generator to produce electricity will negate some benefits as the inefficient generator itself will produce carbon emissions. The Revetec generator will to a large extent reduce these problems.
