Eden Energy (ASX:EDE) is a spin off from Tasman Resources (ASX:TAS) and has eight geothermal licences in South Australia. It intends to harness Hot Rock energy not only for electricity generation, but also for the production of hydrogen fuels.

Eden Energy differs from the other ‘pure’ geothermal companies in that it has been acquiring a portfolio of Hydrogen related companies. This was first observed when Eden acquired a significant stake of Brehon Energy, which holds world leading technology and patents for the cryogenic storage of hydrogen and the production and use of Hythane, a mixture of compressed natural gas (CNG) and hydrogen. This technology has initially been developed over the past 15 to 20 years as part of the NASA space program, been trailed in a wide range of applications and is now ready for full-scale commercialisation.

Since the acquisition, Brehon was split into two holy owned subsidiary companies, Hythane Company LLC and Eden Cryogenics LLC.

Eden has also purchased HyRadix Inc which provide on-site hydrogen generation systems and supply solutions.
