Australian Company to Market Hythane in China
An Australian company has inked a deal to market hythane – a combination of natural gas and hydrogen – in China. The fuel reduces nitrous oxides and other emissions by up to 50 per cent compared to natural gas. Hong Kong-based Hydrogen China Ltd, a subsidiary of Brehon Far East Pty Ltd, has entered into a conditional agreement with state-owned China Railway Construction Co to establish an equally owned venture to demonstrate, market and roll-out Hythane as a fuel. Brehon Far East – which is 49% owned by Perth-based Eden Energy Ltd – has signed non-binding agreements with several Chinese cities to undertake a demonstration project before large scale conversions of public buses to Hythane. Under the latest agreement, China Rail will contribute the first $US1 million ($A1.3 million) in working capital, after which both parties will contribute equally. China recently announced a program to improve the air quality in 15 major cities.

Ballard shares (TSX:BLD) rose about 7% on the news. General Motors Corp. and DaimlerChrysler AG reported yesterday that they have signed agreements with the U.S. Department of Energy to develop hydrogen fuel cell vehicles over the next five years. GM plans to build a fleet of 40 hydrogen fuel vehicles and will spend $44 million to distribute them in Washington, New York, California and Michigan.
