PR Newswire (US)
HOUSTON, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- H2Diesel Holdings, Inc.
(OTC:HTWO) (BULLETIN BOARD: HTWO) and Dynegy Inc. today announced
the successful completion of the first of three biofuel tests in
their test program at Dynegy's Oakland Power Plant in Oakland,
California. The test was in the planning stages for several months
and was performed on one of the plant's six Pratt and Whitney FT4
gas turbine engines. The testing was conducted by initially firing
the engine on distillate fuel oil, then switching to H2Diesel's 100
percent renewable biofuel. A battery of performance and emissions
tests was then conducted. Formal test data are being evaluated, but
preliminary results indicate no fuel-related shortfalls in engine
output or efficiency and NOx emissions that were significantly
lower than when firing distillate fuel oil. "We are very pleased
with the results of our Oakland test program," said David A.
Gillespie, president and CEO of H2Diesel. "These results will allow
us to continue to fine tune and customize our renewable biofuel
product to better meet the needs of our utility and independent
power producer customers." Randy Hickok, Dynegy's Managing Director
of Western Assets, stated, "The initial results of our test program
using H2Diesel biofuel are promising. We are looking forward to
further validation of H2Diesel's renewable biofuel technology."
Further tests will include additional customized fuel formulations
using H2Diesel's proprietary blending technology. Additional
testing will focus on further optimizing emissions of NOx and CO as
well as combustion tuning to enhance cold engine starts. 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 biofuel from domestically produced vegetable oils
that is intended to be marketed as a heating fuel, fuel for power
generation, or alternatively, as a new class of biofuel or fuel
additive. H2Diesel believes its biofuel can be used directly for
home heating and power generation and also potentially as a motor
fuel. The Company further believes its proprietary biofuel 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 biofuel production facilities directly
and through sublicensing of its technology to qualified licensees.
