The Truth About Biofriendly Corporation

After compleeting rigorous Federal tests in a State monitored  program, Green Plus has received an approval from the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for the state’s low emission diesel program.  The Texas approval accompanies three US EPA product registrations for Biofriendly products.  This proves that Green Plus works and is safe for use;  it vindicates a company and a product that were placed under tremendous, unfounded scrutiny thanks to the misinformation and outright falsehoods presented by competitors and naysayers such as ORYXE Energy International, WFAA in Dallas, Texas and David Touretzky.

The approval by TCEQ means that Green Plus can now be used as an alternative formulation solution to meet the Texas Low Emission Diesel (TxLED) requirements.

The Texas Low Emission Diesel program is designed to lower emissions of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and other smog-forming pollutants from diesel-powered motor vehicles and non-road equipment in 110 counties in Texas where air quality is a concern. Green Plus was approved as a solution for diesel fuel producers, importers, retailers and others to meet this State requirement.

“We are pleased that Green Plus has been accepted as an emissions solution option in Texas,” Commented Robert Carroll, Chairman and CEO of Biofriendly Corporation. “Green Plus is a solution that not only helps fuel burn cleaner, it is easy to implement on a broad scale and extremely cost effective. We feel we can make a bigger difference in the environment at a lower cost than any other solution on the market,”

The approval was granted to Biofriendly’s liquid combustion catalyst by TCEQ after Green Plus passed a series of stringent Federal Test Procedures. The test compared the current standard diesel used in Texas and treated with Green Plus, with the emissions output of a much cleaner burning diesel fuel as required by TCEQ. The results of this test, which was audited and approved by the State of Texas, proved that Green Plus reduced harmful emissions to a level equivalent to the cleaner diesel blend.

On November 3rd of 2008 Biofriendly Corporation and the United States EPA made separate announcements to the Press regarding a consent decree settlement. While the Press Release from Biofriendly obviously covers the more positive aspects of the settlement, we have noticed that a few sources have taken the news of this settlement and painted an inaccurately negative picture.

To get a fair view of the story we would like to point interested parties toward, the official EPA Information Sheet regarding the alleged violation. This gives a pretty fair look at what happened.

There is also a balanced article from NBC News that tells both sides and gives a fairly accurate description of the story.

In Early February, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, named David Touretzky, published a story on the Internet repeating the exact same false and invented complaints issued to the state of Texas and the US EPA. He claimed he had a source but never stated who they were.

Since that time in Early February, Touretzky has created several sites with these same falsehoods listed above, including one on the Carnegie Mellon server. As what was written is libelous, it violated the school’s computing policy. After showing school officials what Touretzky had written, the school forced him to remove the content. To this day however, Touretzky uses this site as a “link farm” for the smear campaign on Biofriendly.

Touretzky actions have also been called into question by others. Below are some links that we have found while researching David Touretzky. Feel free to click on them and please keep what you find in mind while browsing any of Touretzky’s anti-biofriendly websites.
