EMTA Diesel Fuel Additive Receives Texas and EPA Approval as
Meeting the Nation's Most Stringent Emissions Standards SCOTTSDALE,
Ariz., June 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EMTA Holdings, Inc.
(OTC:EMHD) (BULLETIN BOARD: EMHD) , an energy, fuel and
environmental conservation company, announced today that the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") has re-evaluated the
emissions data and determined that Clean Boost LE Diesel Fuel
Treatment does meet the state's stringent low-emission diesel fuel
regulations. Clean Boost LE Diesel Fuel Treatment is produced by
White Sands, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of EMTA Holdings. Tests
conducted in the past by the independent nonprofit research
institute in San Antonio, Texas, demonstrated that the Clean Boost
LE Diesel Fuel Treatment additive reduces nitrous-oxide (NOx)
emissions and particulate matter (black smoke) to levels that bring
diesel-powered vehicles into compliance with the regulations of the
TCEQ -- without impacting fuel economy. The testing was observed
and approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
which is considering extending the strict clean air regulations in
Texas to the rest of the nation. The approval qualifies Clean Boost
LE Diesel Fuel Treatment as an approved additive for The Texas Low
Emission Diesel (TxLED) program, which is currently applied to 110
Texas counties, including the metropolitan areas of Houston,
Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin and San Antonio. Nationwide, there are a
total of 500 counties where diesel emissions exceed EPA standards.
Texas is one of the largest diesel producers in the nation. By
adding Clean Boost LE Diesel Fuel Treatment to their product at the
refinery, diesel producers can bring their fuel into compliance
with the TxLED program. In 2001, the TCEQ estimated that 12-14
million gallons of fuel per day required treatment to meet
emissions standards; current estimates indicate at least 100
million gallons of fuel per day, nationwide, require such
treatment. "We are extremely pleased to announce the results of
this re-evaluation," declared Ed Lonergan, CEO, EMTA Corporation.
"It demonstrates that our Clean Boost LE Diesel Fuel Treatment
reduces both NOx and particulate emissions -- without negatively
impacting fuel consumption and now can be used in any diesel fuel.
Moreover, we believe we can do this at substantially lower cost
than any competitors. This is a very large market, and its growth
potential is enormous, as hundreds of other counties in Texas and
other states eventually move into compliance with state and federal
requirements. For EMTA, this is a major breakthrough confirming our
belief that Clean Boost LE Diesel Fuel Treatment is the best and
most competitive product currently available. This approval is
expected to increase our revenues within the next six to seven
months by a minimum of $4,000,000 per month". About EMTA Holdings
