Statoil Will Develop Fuel Of Future Service

Norwegian oil and gas giant Statoil will offer the service at an existing Statoil service station adjacent to its headquarters in Stavanger on Norway's west coast.

Hydrogen is seen by many as a fuel of the future as the only emissions from cells is pure water. Hydrogen cars are being developed by the auto industry, but are still mainly experimental.

Hydrogen filling stations have already been opened in other countries including Iceland and Germany.

Statoil said that the project to offer natural gas and hydrogen filling for vehicles in Stavanger is in cooperation with gas supplier Lyse, an energy park, a research centre, a taxi company and local and regional authorities
