Firepower Group – Environmentally Conscious Initiatives

Firepower is a global company that is based in Australia. It manufactures hydrocarbon-based fuel conditioners and machines which aim to increase fuel efficiency and reduce pollution.

Large fuel consumers such as mining companies and government instrumentalities are Firepower’s target customers, however their innovative Firepower Fuel Pill has seen many benefits and savings in private vehicles and small machinery, also.

After rigorous testing, the use of the Fuel Pill showed an increase in the octane rating of fuel, thus leading to an increase in power, faster burn and decreased chance of detonation under high load. Improved performance and fuel economy and the reduction of exhaust emissions thus resulted – tests showed that mileage improved, representing a significant saving to consumers at the pump. Results will vary depending on engine type and condition.

As stated by Dr Stephen Hall of the University of New South Wales’ School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, “Increased power allows a car to use less fuel for a given trip, therefore improving fuel economy.”

Australia is just one component of Firepower’s global business, which also includes Europe, China, Asia Pacific and Russia.

Firepower is committed to increasing fuel efficiency and reducing pollution for large fuel users including railways, power generation, shipping, commercial road transport, military, heavy industry, mining plant and equipment. Firepower’s extensive product range includes a diesel fuel conditioner, which offers lubricity and combustion improvement.

Firepower’s business ethos involves saving their customers money whilst significantly reducing harmful emissions through technology that makes fuel burn better.

This achievement was recently honored at the UK Institute of Transport Management’s 2007 Innovation in Fuel Technology Award.

At the presentation of the Award for “Innovation in Fuel Technology 2007”, Mr Patrick Sheedy, Media & PR Director for the Institute of Transport Management, said: “By developing innovative fuel technologies, companies can reduce product maintenance costs and reap the cost saving of increased efficiency through a low level of diesel consumption. The superior performance of environmentally compatible fluids means that operators can improve operations safety and performance, without putting the environment at unnecessary risk – prolonging business success and ultimately, the protection of the environment. “

“Companies who consume particularly large amounts of diesel fuel will benefit greatly from the environmentally conscious initiatives, enabling them to reduce pollution and become more cost efficient, while adding to their corporate profile in this age of social responsibility.”
