About H2Diesel, 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" 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 bio-fuel or fuel additive. H2Diesel believes its bio-fuel can be used directly for home heating and power generation and also potentially as a motor fuel. The Company further 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.
