AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT

18 August 2008

MAJOR BOOST FOR EDEN’S GREEN ENERGY PROJECTS FROM LARGE PRIVATE INDIAN GROUP

Eden Energy Ltd (“Eden”) is pleased to announce a major boost from one of India’s largest private development corporations for Eden’s green fuel, gas and geothermal projects in India, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

Under a two tiered strategy announced today with Mumbai-based Zoom Developers Private Ltd (“ Zoom”):

• Zoom will provide Eden with short-term working capital of A$5 million via a convertible note loan

• Both parties have signed a conditional Letter of Intent (“LOI”) providing for Zoom to enter into a series of joint development agreements across various Eden projects

• These projects cover Eden’s Indian-based hydrogen/Hythane® project (a green fuel initiative); coal seam methane/gas projects in England and Wales; and natural gas and geothermal projects in Australia

• It is anticipated that it will take approximately 2-3 months to negotiate the joint development agreements and for Zoom to conclude its necessary due diligence.

“The immediate cash injection coupled with Zoom’s interest in joint project involvement will provide both an immediate financial boost plus broad operational and technical support to our green energy drive across three continents,” Eden’s Executive Chairman, Mr Greg Solomon, said today.

“Quite apart from Zoom, we are now attracting growing attention from world-class energy, infrastructure and engineering majors in many parts of the world,” Mr Solomon said.

“Increasing global political, consumer and regulatory pressures arising out of climate change concerns are driving many governments as well as national and multinational companies to look for viable technologies which can provide early climate and emissions solutions.

“This push will help accelerate the pace at which Eden’s technologies and projects are able to

be rolled out. We believe Zoom will be a strong, strategic partner with its broad affiliations, particularly in India, where Eden is focusing its efforts to market Hythane® as an ultra low emission, high efficiency fuel.”
