US Energy Initiatives Corporation, a manufacturer of a patent dual-fuel diesel to natural gas technology, together with US-based WITCO International, announced an expansion of the company's Chinese initiative.
"We are very pleased to announce that WITCO Intl. has established an office in Hong Kong, with Ms. Chun Greuel as COO for China/Asia operations. In addition, WITCO has engaged Mr. Ian Turner to handle the service and engineering deployment of our patented dual-fuel technology in China," said USEI CEO Mark Clancy.

Together with our current General Motors and PS Gas programs in Thailand, and our recently announced US-based initiative with BAF technologies, US Energy is truly becoming a global player in the alternative fuels industry."

We have secured a suppliers agreement with the largest engine manufacturer in China and together with the market-ready state of US Energy's technology, we felt the time was right to establish an in-country presence. Combined, the WITCO team brings over 150 years experience in the alternative fuel market sector."
