BRC GAS Equipment B R C G A S E Q U I P M E N T GROWING TOWARD THE FUTURE A L T E R N A T I V E B R C G A S F U E L S E Q U I P M E N T The use of traditional fossil fuels is a major cause of air pollution, concerning carbon monoxide emissions, photochemical smog, toxic and particulate emissions. Environmental problems are becoming more and more urgent, exactly like energy dependence. p o l l u t i o n e n e r g y ecowareness The use of alternative fuels reduces pollutants and exhaust emissions. In addition, most of these fuels can be domestically produced and derived from renewable sources. Operating on alternative fuels reduces dependency on shrinking oil supplies and improve air quality.
