Comment:
CARB Board of Directors, I would like to request consideration be made as part of this scoping plan update to allocate funding that would directly benefit emerging technologies and make it easier for small business to bring emission reduction products to market in California. The current avenues of testing required by CARB is VERY costly, and by design anti-competitive, prohibiting start-ups and small companies that do not have adequate funding from bringing their products to market. I represent a company called Clean Energy Technologies, we have a very effective device to meet Tier 3 and Tier 4 emission standards that also improves fuel economy a minimum of 13%. Our system, compared to the currently mandated DPF filters, is about half the cost, is easily maintained, IMPROVES fuel economy instead of reducing it, is completely recyclable instead of creating hazardous waste from the trapped particles, and does not negatively impact the efficiency of the engine or require any downtime for regeneration. The biggest challenge CARB faces in creating a more successful Diesel Bus and Truck Regulation that everyone can support, is the financial impact of mandating very costly DPF filters and the deficiencies of the DPF technology. These two issues were very clear in the recent Hearing and the 40 plus people who commented on the challenges of the current regulation. Clean Energy Technologies, along with a handful of other companies, currently possess rigorously tested technologies that can resolve the challenges CARB faces with a successful implementation of this Regulation. I hope you will strongly consider allocating funds that will help bring these technologies to market quickly. Kind Regards, Glenn T. Klupsak Chairman & CEO Clean Energy Technologies
