Hythane Co and HyRadix to become Eden Hydrogen
Perth-based Eden Energy Limited has established a United States subsidiary to further the production and promotion of hydrogen fuel for vehicles. Eden Hydrogen Inc. unites two wholly-owned Eden subsidiaries — Colorado based hydrogen use and storage pioneer, Hythane Company LLC, and hydrogen fuel producer, HyRadix Inc. — under one corporate roof at Des Plaines, close to Chicago in the State of Illinois.
Eden’s announcement comes a few days after the release of a U.S. Government backed study, which recommended government funding of US$55 billion over the next 15 years to ensure that hydrogen vehicles become competitive with petrol powered cars on U.S. roads. It also follows last week’s announcement by the Indian Government’s Standing Committee on Emission Regulation approving the addition of 20% hydrogen to compressed natural gas for use in motor vehicles. The approval paves the way for the widespread use of Eden’s patented Hythane® fuel – a low-emissions mixture of 20% hydrogen ( by volume) and 80% natural gas — as an approved ‘transitional fuel’ in the country’s ongoing conversion to a full hydrogen based fuel economy.
Eden Hydrogen Inc. will be headed by Chief Executive Officer, Mr Robert Gray, formerly CEO of Eden Innovations Ltd and a past President of HyRadix Inc. With several Indian car, truck and bus makers now developing both Hythane® and hydrogen-powered vehicles, and Hythane® / diesel dual-fuel emerging as a more cost effective fuel for distributed electricity production, Eden says their Hythane technology is attracting growing interest in many countries including the U.S., India, China, Pakistan and Italy.
Hythane Company and HyRadix Inc. have in the past each been responsible for numerous hydrogen related patents and innovations, including Hythane® fuel, HyRadix hydrogen generation systems, and other technologies related to the production, use and storage of both gaseous and liquid hydrogen — some of which had their genesis in the NASA space program — that were developed by Eden Hydrogen’s enormously experienced and talented team of hydrogen scientists and engineers.
