Technology to be
presented at ANGVA 2007 Conference and Exhibition
Energtek Inc.'s subsidiary, Angstore Technologies Ltd, has
completed what’s believed to be the first ever reported set of road tests of
one of the most widespread scooters in India converted to run on ANG (Adsorbed
Natural Gas). Based upon these successful tests, the company expects to begin
serial conversions of motorcycles during 2008. Angstore representatives will
also be presenting a paper on the technology at the upcoming ANGVA 2007 Conference and Exhibition in
Bangkok, Thailand, next month.
The ANG technology allows storing Natural Gas under lower
pressures than Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), the prevalent technology for
Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV), does. The lower pressure used by ANG technology
allows significant savings in the infrastructure costs of filling stations,
allowing for lower fuel costs for the end-user, and may also enable a more
efficient use of the vehicle's space. Additionally, at the same pressure
levels, ANG technology permits storing greater amounts of natural gas than CNG
does, thus enabling longer driving ranges.
Lev Zaidenberg, CEO of Energtek, commented, "With the
ground breaking achievement, Energtek solidifies the assertions made by
industry insiders as being the 'world leader in ANG technology'. The conversion
to ANG is accomplished in a couple of hours and at affordable prices. Since
conversion from Gasoline to Natural Gas allows considerable savings on fuel
costs, the company anticipates strong demand for the implementation of this new
technology. Energtek intends to transform these achievements into product
penetration in the Asian markets, in which two and three wheelers are the
predominant vehicles. We expect to hold a leading position in the huge emerging
market of conversions to Natural Gas fuel."
