First Hydrogen Fuel Station Opens in Norway

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.

    Have you developed Hydrogen powered generators for private homes yet. I would like more info on this as maybe there is possibility of importing from you to USA.

    It is thrilling to see a school level process i.e., electroysis perfected and used to make the world a better place.
    I would like to know if personal hydrogen facilities with low pressure hydrogen, can be used to power homes and factories. I would also to interested in knowing the cost per watt for deriving power in such a way.
