Factors driving transition to Hydrogen
• Peak in global oil production/ oil prices
• Concern over dependence on Middle East oil
• Concern over global climate change / warming
• New emission standards- US/ Europe
• Local Air Pollution- NOx
![Page 11: Hythane Company LLC - Eden · Hythane Company LLC A wholly owned susidiary of Eden Energy Ltd PRODUCTS Hythane® technology- a mixture of natural gas & hydrogen Hythane® - production](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062921/5f046ce27e708231d40de7dd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Suitable Hydrogen Sources
•Production from Natural Gas reformation
• Electrolysis
•Industrial Waste H2 streams
(eg Steel mills, Chlor-Alkali and Glass Plants)
Low purity (90% +) H2 suitable for Hythane ®
