PR Newswire (US)
HOUSTON, Dec. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- H2Diesel Holdings, Inc.
(OTC:HTWO) (BULLETIN BOARD: HTWO) announced today that it has
entered into a Test Burn Agreement with Mirant Energy Trading LLC,
a subsidiary of Mirant Corp. (NYSE:MIR) to demonstrate its
proprietary biofuel technology in utility scale power generation
applications. The Agreement calls for H2Diesel to supply its
biofuel for a gas turbine test program that will be performed in
early 2008 at Mirant's Morgantown Generating Station, which
consumed approximately 5 million gallons of distillate fuel oil in
2006. The test program will include the evaluation of both
technical and environmental performance characteristics of
H2Diesel's biofuel. If testing is successful, the parties intend to
negotiate a mutually agreeable purchase agreement for H2Diesel's
biofuel technology. "We're excited to be teaming with Mirant, a
recognized leader in reliable, affordable, and environmentally
responsible energy supply to build on our recent successes as we
continue to commercialize our proprietary renewable biofuel," said
David A. Gillespie, president and CEO of H2Diesel. "We believe our
fuel can be used in industrial and power generation applications to
reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil, and to reduce the
emissions of greenhouse gasses and other pollutants. We look
forward to successfully completing the testing program and to
Mirant becoming one of our first large- scale electric generation
customers." "A successful test of H2Diesel's biofuel at Morgantown
represents a significant opportunity for Mirant, our customers, and
stakeholders," said John O'Neal, Mirant's senior vice president and
chief commercial officer. "Use of renewable fuels at Morgantown,
one of our largest generating sites, would be an important upgrade
in our processes that would benefit the environment and the
community. We have considered numerous biofuels and we believe
H2Diesel's proprietary emulsion technology represents a potentially
superior and more environmentally responsible product than others
currently available in the market." About H2Diesel Holdings, Inc.
H2Diesel is a development stage company that holds an exclusive
license for North America, Central America and the Caribbean to
proprietary technology for the manufacture of an alternative
"bio-fuel" from vegetable oils and animal fats that is intended to
be marketed as a new class of bio-fuel or fuel additive for power
generation, heavy equipment, marine use and as a heating fuel. The
Company further believes its proprietary bio-fuel will provide a
cheaper, renewable alternative energy source with significantly
lower emissions than traditional fuels and a cleaner and more
efficient alternative to heating oil. H2Diesel's business model
calls for establishing bio-fuel production facilities directly and
through sublicensing of its technology to qualified licensees.
