Following are the advantages of installing EnviroDrive™ systems:

• EnviroDrive™ systems do not emit Greenhouse Gases (GHG)
  
• EnviroDrive™ systems can operate in sweet or sour gas field at remote locations as they operate on differential pressure and do not rely on an outside source of energy
• EnviroDrive™ systems stop and do not waste methanol if a well shuts down.
• EnviroDrive™ systems stop if a well shuts down, which eliminates the possibility of chemical blasts down line.
• EnviroDrive™ systems function quietly.
• EnviroDrive™ systems eliminate the need for flare stacks resulting in no incomplete combustion, potential fire hazard or releases of CO₂, NO_x and SO_x.
• EnviroDrive™ systems allow the gas used for propulsion to re-enter the gas line so that there is no loss of salable gas.

EnviroDrive™ systems not only eliminate emissions, but also provide a substantial production cost savings for the resource producer.

Propane, when used as the propellant has risen 29.2% over the past six years. Based on the Table 14-U.S. Propane (Consumer Grade) prices by Sales Typeⁱ for industrial consumers, propane has risen from 65.2 cents per gallon in 1994 to 95.7 cents per gallon in February 2000; an increase of 30.5 cents per gallon. An EnviroDrive™ System eliminates both this cost as it is propelled by the resource itself and does not exhaust to atmosphere but directs the resource back into the production stream as sales gas.

The emissions from both flared and vented gases is staggering. Solution gas flares account for approximately 71% of all gas flared and vented in Alberta.ⁱⁱ Emissions from flared and vented gases are a major health and environmental problem. Agencies such as the Natural Resources Defense Council of the United States have placed in legislation new laws as part of the Clean Air Act enabling concerned groups to use courts, the bargaining table and even the marketplace to clean up our air and our water. A Report to Environment Canada Conservation and Protection, the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers prepared by M. Strosher, Environmental Technologies Alberta Research Council, Calgary, Alberta, November 1996 evaluated emissions and offers proof of the severity of the emissions problem. Statistics Canada has available charts of Carbon Dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion, per capita and per dollar real GDP to substantiate the loss of both revenue and clean air.
