Scheduled for completion in the fall of 2008, the station is expected to 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 reduction in nitrous oxide emissions, a source of harmful photochemical smog.
Greg Solomon, executive chairman of Eden Energy, said: India’s first hydrogen fueling station will be a showcase for public access to this environmentally beneficial alternative fuel. 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.
