The properties for U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. (USSEC)'s green patent-pending biofuels tested positively for cold weather, viscosity and energy content as reported by Summit Environmental Technologies, Inc., a certified environmental analytic laboratory.

"We are thrilled with the results that Summit has provided on our biofuel. Where the most efficient processes today create 1.5 gallons of an inferior biodiesel in over 24 hours, our proprietary technology allows us to create 5 gallons of a far superior biofuel in under 9 minutes," said John Rivera, CEO of USSEC. "We will be expanding production to our new 4 reactor system generating 24,000 gallons per day in our Natchez facility within 10 weeks' time."

Using ASTM D-240-76 testing standards, Summit reports the heating value for the USSEC liquid biofuel is 128,000 BTU/gal., higher than traditional biodiesel.

Using ASTM D-445 testing standards, Summit reports the USSEC biofuel did not freeze even at -90 degrees F, the limit of the pour point detector. This allows the company's biofuel to be used in extremely cold temperature conditions. In addition to the biofuel being a valuable fuel in its own right, the USSEC liquid biofuel cloud point is lower than the end temperature limit of the typical cloud point measurement, making it useful as a supplement or blended with other biofuels and diesels to improve cold weather performance.

1. Diesel engines...

Were originally engineered to run on 'biofuel.' When Rudolph Diesel designed the diesel engine, he worked with George Washington Carver to come up with a fuel that would make farmers self-sufficient. They came up with a fuel made with peanut oil and corn alcohol. When one mixes a small amount of ethanol, and any vegetable oil, and process it with a readily available catalyst, Sodium Hydroxide, (commonly known as lye) the resulting reaction yields what we call biodiesel. The byproduct is glycerine, which can be used to make soaps. It is also a good lubricant.

So by manufacturing biodiesel, you can not only clean the environment, but you can clean your body as well.

2. Higher yield in less time and superior in just about every physical characteristic.
