Orlando, FL (PRWEB) December 16, 2004 -- The Central Florida Clean Air Team, a coalition of health, business, environmental and government organizations committed to maintaining clean air in Central Florida, selected HUGR Systems, Inc.—an acronym for Helping Us Grow Responsibly—as the recipient of the 2004 Clean Air Award. The award was presented to HUGR President JP Patten on December 13 by Apopkas Mayor John Land.

HUGR was selected for their use of biodiesel technology to decrease emissions, increase efficiency and help maintain clean air in Central Florida,” said Mayor Land.

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from waste vegetable oil (french fry grease) that is environmentally friendly and non-flammable. HUGR Systems hopes to one day build up to utilizing biodiesel technology in vehicles. For now, HUGR is using biodiesel technology in lawnmowers, pressure cleaning systems and carpet cleaning systems. They have also created the company vehicle to run on biodiesel and a sample generator that could run inside a home without causing carbon monoxide poisoning.

The Clean Air Award is given each year to a business or organization in Central Florida that promotes clean air through innovative programs or practices. Past winners of the award include the University of Central Floridas shuttle transportation system, the community of Celebration, Rosen Hotels & Resorts and Orlando Regional Healthcare.
