Eden stated that this opens the way for all the necessary approvals and licenses for the use of its Hythane as a vehicle fuel to be issued, and for the licensing of Hythane outlets to be approved.
When this new regulation is gazetted, India will reportedly become the first country in the world to approve the use of Hythane, as natural gas, thereby taking a step forward in promoting the use of clean and renewable energy in automobiles.
Eden Energy has been working with the Indian authorities for the past 15 months to achieve this approval, and has been promoting the use of Hythane in India for the past four years and has entered into a number of strategic agreements in relation to this project.
The approval of Hythane as a vehicle fuel is part of the Indian hydrogen roadmap, and is deemed an important step in the eventual roll out of hydrogen as a clean fuel. Natural Gas is anticipated to spread significantly as a motor vehicle fuel during the next few years as it becomes far more widely available in India.
