# BEP Catalyst

> BEP Catalyst is a fuel-borne combustion catalyst: a patent-protected ferrocene-based compound dosed into the fuel of combustion engines. Field results in the evidence ledger show 7–20 % lower fuel consumption measured in field use, from locomotives and machines to generators and cars. Every figure below comes from the site's evidence ledger and names who measured it, the period and the evidence tier.
