A British fuel tech company specialising in reducing fuel consumption, emissions and pollution from fossil and biofuels has launched an online calculator to help individuals and businesses estimate how much they could reduce their CO2 output and their running costs.

SulNOx Group PLC says businesses could save hundreds of thousands of pounds every year, while shipping – one of the most polluting forms of transport on the planet – could not only cut CO2 emissions but also save millions of pounds.

SulNOx specialises in natural, biodegradable fuel products which significantly increase fuel efficiencies across widely used hydrocarbon liquid fuels including diesel, petrol and biofuels, while reducing harmful emissions.

Its technologies, if integrated throughout fuel stations for petrol and diesel, could potentially remove the equivalent of over five million cars from UK roads and reduce CO2 equivalent by 10 million metric tons.

SulNOx products are used by individual motorists and across a wide range of industries, including haulage and public transport, and is available across the globe with distributors in 63 countries.

Now the company has added an online calculator to its website – www.sulnoxgroup.com – to help motorists, fleet managers and other industries, including construction, mining, rail, and shipping – see how much they could save as well as the positive impact on their carbon footprint.

Ben Richardson, CEO of SulNOx Group, said: “We have achieved tremendous results with our products and have had those results independently verified. Our green technologies can not only save individuals and businesses a great deal of money, it can also significantly reduce the emissions they are pumping out.

“It’s an uncomfortable fact that fossil fuels will be around for decades to come, even as the world searches for viable alternatives. Sadly not enough attention is being given to what we can do to reduce their impact here and now.”

According to SulNOx an individual with a petrol-driven car, driving the UK average of 7,000 miles per year, with a UK average fuel efficiency of 39mpg and paying the current UK average price of £1.62 per litre, could save almost £130 a year and, significantly, reduce their CO2 emissions by over 200kg a year.

For a diesel car driver, the savings are even more marked. An individual car owner driving the UK average of 9,400 miles at a cost of £1.87 per litre and with a fuel efficiency of 43mpg could save almost £200 a year and reduce emissions by almost 300kg.

“The results show that even those of us who just use our cars for the school run or to do the shopping could save significant amounts but, crucially, also drastically reduce our impact on the environment,” said Ben.

“Obviously as fuel usage is scaled up, the savings – both financial and environmental – become bigger. A single car user could save hundreds of pounds a year at a time when we all need to save some cash, but when we look at fleet usage, we see a fleet of 100 trucks could save three quarters of a million pounds every year.

“In shipping, the savings are staggering – a fleet of 10 ships could see their running costs cut by $6 million per year.”
