California Opens First Hydrogen Fueling Station

California opened its first Hydrogen refueling station today.  It’s located on Santa Monica Blvd just West of the 405 highway.  To make it economically viable – for the station that is – the station also offers conventional gasoline.  Hydrogen production will be done on site using electrolysis and stored in a tank for daily fueling.

Talk about not smoking a cigarette at the pump.  Although, I’ve heard the risk is equitable to standard gasoline.  No word on cost per liter or gallon, but I’ll see if I can get down there in the next few days and take a peak (I live blocks away).
