Business Wire
Eden Energy Ltd., through its wholly-owned subsidiary Hythane
Company LLC, has been selected by IndianOil Corporation to install
and supply the first public hydrogen fueling station in India. The
$1 million retail outlet will be sited in the heart of Delhi at one
of India�s busiest natural gas fuelling stations. Scheduled for
completion in the fall of 2008, the station will produce, store,
blend, and dispense Hythane� as well as hydrogen to power natural
gas vehicles, including buses, cars, and trucks. Hythane� is a
patented mixture of hydrogen and natural gas that provides a
dramatic reduction in nitrous oxide emissions, a source of harmful
photochemical smog. India has set a target of having at least 20%
of all vehicles operate on hydrogen-based fuel by 2020--an
estimated one million vehicles. Along with other hydrogen fuel
projects Eden is undertaking in India, the United States, and
Europe, the Delhi station is seen as a springboard for commercial
rollout of Hythane� worldwide. �India�s first hydrogen fueling
station will be a showcase for public access to this
environmentally beneficial alternative fuel,� said Eden Energy�s
Executive Chairman Greg Solomon. �We expect to expand here rapidly
to present a model to the world in which Hythane� is the fuel of
choice in a thriving hydrogen economy.� Hythane� leverages the
benefits of hydrogen into the existing natural gas infrastructure.
An estimated 7 million natural gas vehicles and 10,000 natural gas
fueling stations worldwide present an extensive market for this
optimized blend of hydrogen and natural gas that is significantly
less expensive than diesel fuel or gasoline, and offers near-zero
emissions. Countries with the largest natural gas vehicle use
include Argentina, Pakistan, Brazil, Italy, India, and the United
States. �Hythane� is the transitionary fuel that will lead India
from a hydrocarbon economy to the hydrogen economy,� said Roger
Marmaro, President of Hythane. �During this implementation period,
India will see immediate benefits, realizing a 95% reduction in
emissions at a much lower cost than conventional fuels.� About Eden
