Envirofit is a NON-profit company that is willing to provide this technology to the world for free. Anyone can use it. They are a spin-off group from Colorado State University.
There are an estimated 100 million of these two stroke vehicles in the world. Predominantly in China, India and the rest of Asia, but also to an extent in Africa. These 100 million two-strokes pollution equivalent is roughly the same as 5 BILLION autos.
Each retrofit is roughly $300.
To covert the entire 100 million it would cost approximately $30 billion.
The benefit....
1) reduces carbon monoxide emissions by 76%: equivalent of removing the carbon monoxide emissions of 3.8 billion cars
2) carbon dioxide emissions by 35%: equivalent of removing the CO2 emissions of 1.75 BILLION cars
3) hydrocarbon emissions by 89%: equivalent of removing 4.45 billion cars
4) fuel use is reduced by 35%
5) reduce oil by 50%
Add in the benefits to the environment, the peoples health...
For $30 billion... I would say that is well worth it. We would likely save that in lower fuel costs alone within five years. Add in the reduction in sick days and healthcare costs and you have a very significant net positive. Not to mention the bulk of these two-strokes are owned by the operators, which means they make more money which will also help boost their local economies.
