2 Disclaimer Forward-looking Statements and Projections Whilst reasonable care has been taken in compiling the forward projections in this presentation, they necessarily are based on many assumptions and factors that are beyond the control of the company and accordingly there is no representation or warranty given that these projections will be achieved. There are many uncertain risk factors, particularly related to the Indian market, which are beyond the control of the company and which could significantly impact on both the prices that are achieved, the sales turnover and the production and operating costs. These risks include delays in the rollout of the Natural Gas pipeline system and the accessibility of Natural Gas in India, limitations in the available quantities of Natural Gas, increases in the price of Natural Gas, reduction in the price of alternate fuels such as diesel, changes in Indian Government or Indian Supreme Court policies and rulings, market competition, shortages in raw materials and labour, increases in cost of labour and materials, national or international political or economic instability, problems with reliability of equipment produced and sold, warranty claims, currency fluctuations, restrictions on foreign investment, disputes with potential joint venturers, market resistance to the products or services offered, lack of available capital or finance, restrictions on international travel and similar factors beyond the control of the company. For these reasons, all potential investors and others must satisfy themselves on the reliability of these forward looking projections before acting upon any information provided to them in relation to forward looking projections, and neither the company nor any of its officers make any representations, warranties or commitments that these or any other forward projections will necessarily be achieved.

8 Major Drivers for Hydrogen Markets Environmental Economic -Local air pollution - Concern for global climate change -Comparative fuel prices - Comparative efficiency of application - Public health costs - Carbon trading Energy independence - Push to end dependence on oil and develop green alternatives Renewable energy -Need to develop renewable energy with H2 as energy carrier Political -Progressive leadership or younger voter pressure November 09 8

9 Fundamental Dilemma Hydrogen Infrastructure - How to fund hydrogen infrastructure before hydrogen fleets exist? - How does a hydrogen fleet develop without available infrastructure? The Solution - Hythane - existing natural gas fleet uses the new hydrogen infrastructure November 09 9

10 H 2 + CH 4 Hythane Hythane -the transitional fuel Significantly lower pollution / Higher efficiency Low-cost, premium blend of Hydrogen and Natural Gas: 5-7% H 2 (by energy); 20% H 2 (by volume) Ultra-low emissions 50% No x /CO -meets 2010 Indian emission standards High efficiency % increase in efficiency with suitable engines Low cost-only software changes to suitable engines Anticipated cost 10% more than natural gas Complies with existing natural gas safety standards November 09 10

11 The Hythane Process Natural Gas Pipeline CH 4 Reformer H 2 Compressor Hythane Blender Storage Tanks Low pressure Blending Option Shown November 09 11

12 Storage Volume Comparison CNG, 300 km H 2,<70 km in same tank H 2, 300 km 4.5 times more volume Hythane, 300 km 1.2 times more volume November 09 12

13 Hythane - the leveraged use of Hydrogen Case 1: Convert 7 CNG Vehicles to Hydrogen Hydrogen Vehicle CNG Vehicle Hythane Vehicle Result: 7% NOx reduction, 7% hydrogen energy Case 2: Convert 100 CNG Vehicles to Hythane Result: 50% NOx reduction, 7% hydrogen energy November 09 13
