16 August 2007 - 2:30PM
PR Newswire (US)
HOUSTON, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- H2Diesel Holdings, Inc.
("H2Diesel") (OTC:HTWO) (BULLETIN BOARD: HTWO) , announced today
that it has placed into service its first bio-fuel production
plant, a 3 million gallon per year pilot facility, jointly
developed with Twin Rivers Technologies L.P. ("Twin Rivers"). The
plant, co-located at Twin Rivers' facility in Cincinnati, Ohio,
represents H2Diesel's next step in commercializing its new
technology for the manufacture of high-quality bio-fuel from a wide
variety of vegetable oils and animal fats. Major equipment for the
facility has been provided under lease by Sonic Corporation of
Stratford, Connecticut. The facility will be used initially to
manufacture fuel for H2Diesel's application testing program, and
then later for early commercial sales until a full-scale production
plant is completed. As previously announced, H2Diesel signed a
Letter of Intent with Twin Rivers to negotiate definitive
agreements covering the siting, construction, operation and
management of a proposed 25 million gallon per year production
facility. Under current plans, H2Diesel expects to locate this
plant at Twin Rivers' existing facility in Quincy, Massachusetts in
2008. In May 2007 the Company announced that its proprietary
bio-fuel will be used in a test burn at Dynegy, Inc.'s subsidiary,
Dynegy Oakland LLC., in the near future. Dynegy and the Company
have agreed to negotiate with respect to a mutually agreeable
purchase agreement for H2Diesel's bio-fuel in the event testing is
successful. H2Diesel President and Chief Executive Officer David A
Gillespie said, "We are excited to be taking this next significant
step in executing our Business Plan. The pilot plant will allow us
to demonstrate commercial scale production capability of our
customized bio-fuel. We're especially pleased to be further
developing our relationship with Twin Rivers whose technical
expertise and assistance has been invaluable in our achieving this
major milestone." Ian Edwards, Chief Executive Officer of Twin
Rivers Technologies said, "We continue to believe that H2Diesel's
advanced Bio-fuel has the potential to be a breakthrough technology
in the alternative fuels space. Our relationship with H2Diesel
represents an opportunity for us to enhance our existing bio- fuel
business by aligning us with a second generation alternative fuel
technology." 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"
produced from vegetable oils and animal fats that is intended to be
used for power generation, heavy equipment, marine use and as a
heating fuel. The Company 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 the establishment of bio-fuel production facilities
directly and through sublicensing of its technology to qualified
licensees. H2Diesel's Bio-fuel has been designed to compete with
petroleum distillate, kerosene, diesel fuel, and biodiesel and is
capable of being produced from a broad array of vegetable oil and
animal fat feed stocks without using a complicated chemical
reaction or producing by-products. At the same time, H2Diesel has
properties that are superior to some other bio fuel products. About
Twin Rivers Technologies, LP Twin Rivers Technologies is one of the
largest and fastest growing oleo chemical producers in North
America. The Company's management team has an average of over two
decades of experience in the chemicals industry and its operations'
staff also has more than 20 years of Oleo chemical production and
related processing technology experience. Forward Looking
