HE Blends BV is a separate entity of Process Design Center (www.process-design-center.com). It was founded in 2007 due to PDC's invention related to hydrous ethanol/gasoline blends for automotive fuels in 2005. Our main office is in Breda (the Netherlands) with international offices in Dortmund (Germany), Sausalito (USA), and Jakarta (Indonesia).
This patented discovery turned out to have a significant relevance in alternatieve fuels (it makes a great impact on ASTM D6422-99 standard!). Hydrous ethanol as the sustainable additive in gasoline gives many economically and ecologically advantages worldwide. Our aim is to support the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) as in the Kyoto Protocol by providing a greener, cheaper, easier, and locally produced bio-ethanol that gives benefits for everybody. Since April 2008, several pump stations in the Netherlands start to sell hydrous ethanol-gasoline blends (so-called hE15; 15% hydrous ethanol, 85% gasoline). The official market introduction was done on July 7th, 2008 by Dutch Minister of Environment (VROM): Dr. Jacqueline Cramer. We make a great success in the Netherlands, now we would like to share our experience with you!!
