Bernardo Herzer is a licensed ship captain, and during his global travels he has always been concerned about environmental issues such as spillage from the use of gasoline on the vessels and in the water. "At the age of 17,1 sailed around the world with my family," said Herzer, CEO and founder of LEHR Inc. (Los Angeles), in a telephone interview with BPN. "I always wanted to do something with propane and boat engines for marine applications. Just about all the equipment we had on board that we could convert to run on propane, we would do it. We found that using propane as a fuel made the equipment much more dependable."
