CARBON, HYDROGEN, DUAL FUEL and HYTHANE® PROJECTS
1 Pyrolysis Project (Eden 100%) Production of Carbon Nanotubes/Carbon Fibres/ Hydrogen
Through the pyrolysis process that has been developed, methane (natural gas) is broken down into its atomic constituents of hydrogen gas and solid carbon, without the production of carbon dioxide. In the Eden process, the solid carbon is produced as either carbon fibres or carbon nanotubes that have a tensile strength of up to several hundred times greater than that of steel.
The new process, developed by Eden with the University of Queensland (UQ) and which Eden now owns 100%:
-
appears from the results to date to be relatively efficient when compared with other methods of production of carbon nanotubes and fibres and uses only a relatively low level of energy and lower cost capital equipment compared with most other published methods;
-
employs relatively low cost catalysts (no precious metals are used in the catalysts);
-
• has a low carbon footprint; and
-
produces only hydrogen, carbon nanotubes and solid carbon fibres from natural gas, all of which have significant commercial market potential opening up the possibility of:
-
i. low-cost, super strong, ultra light carbon nanotubes that can possibly be used in a wide range of composite materials suitable for many types of commercial applications including the domestic automobile industry and construction industries in concrete strengthening and in carbon composite materials ;
-
ii. low-cost, high volume production of carbon nanofibres that are likely to possess significant electrical capacity opening up potential for use in a wide range of applications in batteries and electrical storage, and for electrical conductivity in composite materials due to their electrical conduction capability and ability to hold an electrical charge; and
-
iii. low-cost hydrogen production without the production of carbon dioxide as a byproduct that could help facilitate the more rapid spread of both hydrogen as a vehicle fuel and also Eden’s Hythane® technology as an ultra-clean, highly efficient premium blend of hydrogen and natural gas that it is marketing in India and USA.
If successfully piloted on a commercial scale, the process could have important implications for the widespread commercialisation of these forms of carbon whilst also producing relatively low cost hydrogen with an extremely low carbon footprint as the only by-product.
Initial Scale-up in USA
In July 2010 staff from Eden’s wholly owned subsidiary, Hythane Company visited the University of Queensland meeting the engineers involved in developing the technology. Upon return from Queensland, Hythane Company completed the procurement and installation of the equipment required for the initial scale-up. Hythane Company has built a catalyst production laboratory in US and catalysts for production of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and carbon nanofibres (CNF) have been produced and tested confirming their quality.
High Quality Hydrogen/ Carbon Production at US Facility
Since July 2010, the first scale-up of a batch production unit was designed and built by Hythane Company in US and is producing hydrogen and MWCNT or CNF (depending upon the
Page 2 of 8
particular catalyst that is used). This unit has an output capacity approximately 25 times larger than the original laboratory scale unit that was used at UQ. This US built unit has now been successfully trialed and produced hydrogen and either MWCNT or CNF on a batch basis, with stable, production levels for both forms of carbon being achieved. The quality and quantity of the MWCNT and CNF were measured and tested using high technology techniques including TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) photography and Raman Spectroscopy and the results to date of both the quality and the quantity of all carbon products are very encouraging. Two photographs and three TEM images of carbon nanotubes that have been produced by Hythane Company in US are attached (Figures 1-5).
First Prototype Continuous Production Unit Completed in US
During the quarter Hythane Company also completed the design and manufacture of its first, relatively small, prototype continuous production unit which has the capacity to produce up to 10 tonnes of carbon fibre per annum or up to 3 tonnes per annum of MWCNT. This unit is now successfully operating utilizing catalysts produced by Hythane Company and the carbon fibres and the carbon nanotubes that have been produced have been analysed and samples sent off for commercial assessment and testing. Eden anticipates that testing and final optimisation of the first prototype continuous production unit will be completed in early 2011
Small Commercial Scale Continuous Production Unit in US
The Company’s pyrolysis process and catalyst production capability is currently being scaledup to a small scale commercial production level of up to 100 tonnes of carbon per year, and is planned to be completed by the end of 2011, which, if successful, will open the way to a commercial rollout in 2012, with initial deployment being planned for India.
Market progress
Initial progress has been made in establishing markets for the carbon products.
Batteries
The Company has made its first commercial sale of its CNT and CNF to an industrial battery manufacturer. Whilst the first sale was of only a relatively small quantity of carbon, it is nevertheless understood to be sufficient for possibly up to 1000 batteries, but most importantly is confirmation from the market of the commercial acceptability of the Company’s carbon nanoproducts for electrical applications.
Concrete
The Company has achieved encouraging results in trials in US, where initial trials have shown that the addition of CNF equal to 0.1% (by weight) of the amount of the cement in concrete can increase compressive strength by up to 19% without affecting the flexural strength of the concrete. This potential improvement in compressive strength is relevant to all grades of concrete.
Several leading Indian concrete manufacturers have expressed interest in testing the Company’s CNF as an additive to concrete to increase its performance, particularly the compressive strength. This is hoped to open up a significant market for CNF in the enormous Indian concrete market.
Page 3 of 8
The Company is also conducting a wide range of further tests of the CNF-enhanced concrete to further optimise the compressive strength benefits and to also test the effect on a number of other properties of the concrete, that are relevant to specific applications such as, high strength concrete used in the construction of bridges, flyovers and high rise buildings, and ultra-hard concrete for use in high impact applications.
Rubber and plastics
The Company intends to commence testing, at the Hythane Company’s laboratory in Colorado, USA, the effects of mixing CNT and CNF with rubber and plastic, with a view to testing the effect that the substitution of CNT for carbon black will have on the tensile strength and strain density of the rubber (and its potential to result in lighter, longer life tyres), and the effect of the addition of CNT and CNF to plastic on the strength, and electrical and thermal conductivity of plastic.
Timetable
It is planned that the commercial scale-up process will be completed by the end of 2011 or during the first half of 2012, at which time Eden projects that, subject to satisfactory resolution of any technical difficulties that may arise, it will have both a catalyst production capability and a fully developed pyrolysis production technology that together will enable Eden to produce and market commercial quantities of high quality, low cost hydrogen and carbon nanotubes and/or carbon fibres, which the company intends to market on a widespread basis.
Summary
Eden is well on the way to developing an efficient, commercially competitive process that will enable Eden to produce and market the carbon itself, or else licence others to use its technology.
Additionally, the only other major by-product from Eden’s pyrolysis process is hydrogen, the real cost of which will be dependent upon the value of the carbon produced. The quantity of hydrogen produced will be 33.33% (by weight) of the quantity of carbon produced and this can be either captured and fed into the various hydrogen/Hythane® applications that Eden has been developing around the world, with the intention of accelerating the commercial rollout of these downstream hydrogen applications based on the prospect of relatively low cost hydrogen, or alternatively it can be used to help fuel the pyrolysis reactor. The current cost of hydrogen is one of the major factors holding back a broader rollout of hydrogen technology. Of further interest, the hydrogen produced using the Eden pyrolysis process will generate only a relatively small amount of greenhouse gas as a by-product of the production process compared with most other currently available methods of hydrogen production, and in consequence it is projected that the hydrogen will be both commercially competitive and extremely environmentally acceptable.
2 Optiblend® Dual Fuel Technology (Eden 100%)
Background
Eden has completed the development of an efficient dual fuel kit that is capable of operating on diesel engines and displacing up to 70% of the diesel fuel with natural gas. If Hythane® is used in place of natural gas, the displacement of diesel fuel could be as high as 80%. The use of the natural gas will greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, in places where natural gas is cheaper than diesel, will also reduce fuel costs. In various parts of India, available natural gas is
Page 4 of 8
already significantly cheaper than diesel, and accordingly Eden has been targeting a diversified market for this technology, starting with stationary power generators and then locomotives.
Many millions of diesel generators are installed throughout India in industrial, commercial, and residential applications, to provide either base load power or backup power generation, largely due to the unreliability of the Indian power grid in many parts of the country. As natural gas, which is both much cleaner and cheaper than diesel, becomes more widely available, a large market is emerging for the conversion of these diesel engines to operate on a dual-fuel system of both natural gas and diesel. Depending upon the size of the engine and the number of hours per day that it operates, payback times for the conversions are often less than 12 months, so the cost is minimal compared to the replacement cost of a natural gas generator.
Indian Optiblend® Sales
During the quarter Eden completed the installation of another Optiblend® kit for a 1,250KVA Cummins K50 generator at a major Indian machinery manufacturer, and has received another order for a second similar installation from the same customer.
Two other orders for OptiBlend® kits were received during the quarter for installations in other parts of India.
Quotes have been provided to many other potential customers in various cities across northern and western India. The sales prices of an installed OptiBlend® kit varies according to the configuration of the engine, but is often in the range of US$25,000 - $40,000.
Eden Energy India has now found suitable Indian manufacturers for many of the dual fuel kit components, which will help reduce the cost of the production of future units.
US Optiblend® Sales
During the quarter Eden, through its US subsidiary, Hythane Co, continued marketing the Optiblend® kit in US and has received encouraging enquiries for the kit which it is hoped will translate into sales during the next 3 months.
3 Hythane® Indian Hythane® Project
Mumbai Hythane® Bus Demonstration Project
During the quarter, discussions in relation to this project (with GAIL, MGL and BEST, the Mumbai government bus operator) have re-started this project, which is still hoped to be operational during 2011.
GAIL (Gas Authority of India) is the largest distributor of Natural Gas in India. MGL is a joint venture company, jointly owned by GAIL, BG Group and the Government of Maharashtra, which owns and operates pipelines and markets Natural Gas in the greater Mumbai area to a broad commercial, domestic and industrial customer base of more than 25 million people and is keen for the planned Hythane® demonstration project to proceed.
The demonstration project in Mumbai will involve Eden establishing a Hythane® refuelling station at a suitable bus depot to fuel buses. The project, provided it proceeds, is now planned to involve firstly a two bus trial of Hythane® fuel, with the initial hydrogen planned to be supplied
Page 5 of 8
from bottled hydrogen, followed by a second stage, planned for the second half of 2012, of up to 35 buses, with the hydrogen planned to be supplied by the Company from one of its new pyrolysis reformers. This reformer is planned to be installed on site, and will produce both the required hydrogen, and also carbon products that the Company hopes to be able to sell into the Indian market.
BEST is the state owned Mumbai bus operator that operates more than 4,000 buses, half of which are already using natural gas and all of which are planned to be operating on natural gas within the next three years. MGL supplies BEST with all its natural gas requirements.
If the project proceeds, then upon successful completion of the demonstration project the parties will endeavour to negotiate a commercial agreement for the ongoing promotion and marketing of Hythane® by MGL in its area of operation. If commercial scale hydrogen production, using Eden’s new pyrolysis process were available by that time, it may well increase the chances of developing a very large Hythane® market in India if the hydrogen were effectively produced as a by-product to the production of higher value carbon fibres and nanotubes and with a very low carbon footprint.
Gujurat Hythane® Bus Demonstration Project
Discussions with GSPC Gas in relation to this project (and which is similar in scale and timetable to the Mumbai demonstration) during the quarter have also re-started this project, and it is still hoped to also be operational during 2011.
Background- Hythane® in India
In 2006, India adopted a Hydrogen Roadmap that proposes to have 20% of all vehicles running on a hydrogen based fuel by 2020, and plans to use hydrogen enriched natural gas (Hythane®) as the transitional fuel. At present there are approximately 12 Indian cities that have established natural gas distribution networks, in which expanding numbers of natural gas fueled vehicles, particularly buses, are operating. The Indian Government has announced a new target to expand such networks to 200 cities by 2015 – opening up a potentially huge Hythane® market across the country.
During the past two years, various vehicle manufacturers, with funding from the MNRE and assistance from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers ("SIAM") and IOC, have developed the following seven types of vehicles to run on HCNG fuel:
-
two models of three-wheel autorickshaws;
-
one SUV;
-
one passenger car; and
-
three models of mini-buses.
The MNRE is now funding an extended field trial of these seven HCNG vehicles in Delhi, with refueling at either the Dwarka public Hythane station and at IOC’s research and design facility near Delhi. SIAM will also participate by testing the vehicles’ emissions and efficiency at regular intervals.
This field trial will add significant national momentum to the overall Indian HCNG programme and the Company is encouraged that its considerable efforts to date to develop Hythane® fuelled buses and to build HCNG refueling stations will be rewarded in due course as a significant Hythane® vehicle market develops in India as the supply of natural gas spreads
Page 6 of 8
from the 30 cities where it is currently available to the more than 300 cities where it is planned over the next 5-10 years.
As part of this development, the Company plans to promote its pyrolysis technology, by which hydrogen and CNT and CNF are produced from natural gas, as a cost effective means to produce the hydrogen necessary for the rollout of HCNG across India.
Additionally, commercial production of natural gas from the large offshore KG basin commenced in April 2009, which is expected to significantly increase the amount of available natural gas in the coming years. These factors together with other exploration success and a possible emerging domestic shale gas market in India make India the primary target market for Eden’s hydrogen and Hythane® technology.
US Hythane® Project
San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Last quarter Eden was advised that the final funding required for this project had been awarded, and during March quarter Eden has been negotiating the lease agreement for the site. Subject to the lease being finalised, it is hoped that construction may begin late 2011. If this happens, both the hydrogen and Hythane® stations are now likely to be completed and operational during 2012. Again, whilst there has been an undesired delay in this project, progress does now seem to be being achieved and Eden is hopeful that this project will now proceed.
For this project, Hythane Company had received funding for station infrastructure as well as the conversion of potentially up to 27 Ford E-450 airport shuttles to run on Hythane[®] . Unfortunately, because of the delay in this project, funding is currently now available for only the first 13 Hythane® vehicles. The project is intended to demonstrate the commercial practicality of Hythane[®] vehicles for large-scale projects across the US particularly in smog prone areas where lower emissions are required.
ENERGY PROJECTS
UK Coal bed Methane, Conventional Natural Gas and Shale Gas Project
Eden and its UK joint venture partner are currently having reports prepared by independent consultants on the prospectivity of the 17 PEDLs in South Wales, Bristol/Somerset and Kent in which Eden either holds or is earning an interest to produce either coal bed methane, shale gas and/or natural gas. Eden anticipates that these reports will identify a prospective and/or a contingent resource, but the amounts and catergorisation of each is yet to be determined. Upon these reports being completed it is now Eden’s intention to proceed, on its own, with a spin-out of its UK gas assets into a new Initial Public Offering (IPO) in which Eden will remain as a major shareholder.
The total area of the 17 UK exploration licences in which Eden holds or is earning an interest is approximately 1800km[2] or 500,000 acres, all of which is all considered prospective for coal bed methane, conventional natural gas and/or shale gas.
Australian Natural Gas and Geothermal Projects (Eden 100%)
Eden has secured a voluntary suspension on its work commitments on all of its geothermal licences and its SA Natural Gas licence. This is giving Eden time to try and find a suitable partner / cornerstone investor to progress these projects.

CORPORATE
In April 2011 Eden completed a share placement to sophisticated and professional investors raising $0.55 million and announced a fully underwritten pro-rata non-renounceable rights issue on the same terms to raise a further $2.4 million.
Eden instigated proceedings to recover the balance of the monies owed ($0.9 million) in relation to the sale of HyRadix, Eden Cryogenics and CTS that occurred in 2009. The directors are confident the proceedings will be successful.
A claim has been made against Eden by Ticora Geosciences Inc (‘Ticora”), the company that carried out permeability and desorption testing for Eden in 2007-8 in UK, for the unpaid portion of its bill (US$786,191) for this testing. Eden disputes the claim and in turn has counterclaimed against Ticora for damages resulting from the alleged negligence of Ticora in carrying out the permeability testing on the second well, and claims a right of setoff. This dispute is scheduled to be determined by the UK courts late 2011 if not previously settled.
