Small Green Technology Company Receives Prestigious Clean Air Excellence Award from US EPA
New Fireplace Technology Projected for use in Millions of Homes Nationwide
On May 26th 2010, Clear Skies Unlimited received the prestigious 2009 Clean Air Excellence Award from the US Environmental Protection Agency.
The US EPA officially recognized Clear Skies Unlimited at the annual EPA Clean Air Excellence Awards Ceremony in Washington, DC for its dedication to excellence in achieving clean air through new technology development. After considering hundreds of potential candidates, the Clean Air Excellence Award went to Clear Skies Unlimited based on the projected impact that the revolutionary HearthCAT Wood Burning Fireplace Emission Control Technology will have on future wood burning fireplace emissions nationwide.
Clear Skies Unlimited Inc. is a New Mexico small business specializing in innovative catalytic solutions for the most challenging air quality problems. The Clear Skies wood burning fireplace technology reduces particulate emissions in wood burning fireplaces by as much as 90 percent. The HearthCAT System has reduced PM2.5 in Isokern Modular Masonry Fireplaces to 2.9 g/kg, well below the EPA fireplace program Phase 2 emissions level of 5.1 g/kg. The HearthCAT equipped Isokern Fireplaces are the only clean burning masonry fireplaces currently qualified under the EPA Fireplace Program. The HearthCAT has also been successfully tested and qualified in FMI factory-built fireplaces. The FMI Craftsman 36 is the most affordable of any of the EPA Phase II Qualified Wood Burning Fireplaces.
The HearthCAT technology has unlimited potential since it can be used in new construction or fireplace retro-fits, and in both open hearth masonry and low mass fireplaces. The HearthCAT has been recently approved for retro-fit applications in most of the major air districts in California. It is a passive catalytic device that destroys the offensive pollutants and wood smoke. The system is easily installed, requires no maintenance, and is affordable to the consumer. The company anticipates explosive growth over the next year.
The Clear Skies technology is currently the only available technology that will meet the new EPA emissions standard for wood burning fireplace retro-fits.
