Countries such as India where pollution in the major cities has become an environmental hazard, the government has adopted Eden Energy's patented Hythane® blend, a 20 / 80 mixture of hydrogen and natural gas, as that nation's fuel standard to control local pollution by reducing NOX emissions (smog) by 95% and in moving to a hydrogen economy. India currently operates a fleet of nearly 500,000 buses—all of which are scheduled to convert to Hythane® fuel. Eden Energy's wholly-owned subsidiary, Colorado-based Hythane Company LLC, was selected by IndianOil Corporation to install and supply the first public hydrogen fuelling 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.
