Developments in Renewable and Alternative EnergyFont size: A | A | A 9:00 AM ET 2/16/17 | PR Newswire The Energy Information Administration's (EIA) published the International Energy Outlook earlier in January. The report projects that the total energy production will increase by more than 20% from 2016 through 2040, led by increases in renewables, natural gas, and crude oil production. Diesel remains the dominant fuel for trucks despite increasing use of alternative fuels. Regional programs such as California's Zero-Emission Vehicle regulation, which has been adopted by nine additional states and California's SB-32, which requires a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, improved alternative vehicle sales, especially electric and fuel cell vehicles.

The report indicates that among all the energy sectors renewables showed the most strength and heist adoption rates. 'On a percentage basis, renewable energy grows the fastest because capital costs fall with increased penetration and because current state and federal policies encourage its use... Coal consumption decreases as coal loses market share to natural gas and renewable generation in the electric power sector' the research shows.
Greenkraft, Inc. (OTCQB: GKIT) is a major manufacturer of alternative fuel automotive products. Greenkraft, Inc. was created to introduce clean, green, efficient, automotive products that run on alternative fuels. GKIT offers alternative commercial forward cabin trucks and alternative fuel systems for various vehicles.
On February 6th Greenkraft announced that it will realize well over $1,000,000 of new revenue in 2017. This revenue will be achieved through the monetization of Greenkraft's three major product lines which are trucks, conversion systems, and engines. Some of the trucks that GKIT is offering are truly one of kind in their class and currently the only alternative to diesel fuel trucks, especially from 19,500 to 33,000 GVW. In addition, Greenkraft trucks offer unparalleled maneuverability compared to other available options because of the unique forward cabin design.
Conversion systems are quickly becoming a huge revenue source for Greenkraft too because the Company can take various existing truck models that run on gasoline fuel and completely convert it to run on CNG or LPG making it much less expensive to operate the fleet. The third product line that is contributing to GKIT's revenue increase is engines for repowering trucks with different fuel options, and engines for agriculture equipment and stationary machines used in various industries with different fuel options.
George Gemayel, CEO of Greenkraft, Inc. says, "Greenkraft is already the leader in alternative fuel truck options and is now going to be entering new exciting markets that will tremendously increase both revenue and name recognition. The Company firmly believes that these new alternative fuel innovations will quickly become the standard in the trucking sector and beyond. 2017 is going to be an amazingly exciting and profitable time for Greenkraft."
