The Germans have the Autobahn, a road that services the fastest cars the Germans can make. The Norwegians have a similarly differentiated yet shorter highway, but this one wants to help save the air. Norway's government, private, and socially adept sectors are participating in a joint effort called HyNor, an initiative that will create a 360 mile Hydrogen Highway from Norway's capital of Oslo to the port of Stavanger.

This highway will have hydrogen fuel stations to service hydrogen cars traveling along it, and by 2009 government officials believe that there would be enough fuel stations to serve the motoring public.

As the first clean fuel station was opened in Norway, people are wondering what to expect next. The Norwegian government has just the answer. People who want to use hydrogen fuel cars, which does contribute to GHG emissions but can only use their cars at short distances due to inadequate fueling facilities will have no trouble using the HyNor now and will have no trouble going through the rest of the Scandinavian areas because a link will soon be made with Sweden's HyFuture and Denmark's Hydrogen Link in June, thanks to the Scandinavian Hydrogen Highway Partnership.
