New Generation Biofuels Holdings Inc., a renewable fuels provider, on July 9 announced that Cleaver-Brooks, the leading manufacturer of industrial and commercial boilers, has successfully conducted a series of test burns of New Generation Biofuels' proprietary biofuel in an NTI Ultra Low NOx burner. Taking place at the Cleaver-Brooks Milwaukee R&D laboratory, the tests verified the biofuel as a compatible fuel source for Cleaver-Brooks boilers. With this announcement, New Generation Biofuels is underscoring its ability to reduce Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions by up to 30 percent and virtually eliminate Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), when compared to ultra low-sulfur fuel oil.

The company evaluated New Generation Biofuels as an alternative fuel.
