Westchester Gets First Hydrogen Filling Station

WHITE PLAINS, NY (AP) -- Hydrogen could be the fuel of the future - but it is available now at a service station in Westchester County.

The first hydrogen pump in the tristate area opened Tuesday at a Shell station in White Plains.

While few cars currently use the odorless, colorless fuel, it is where the city plans to take five vehicles it is converting to run on a blend that also includes natural gas.

It is also where two county residents are expected to fill up the tanks of their prototype hydrogen fuel cell-powered Chevrolet compacts. The vehicles can go 160 miles before they need to be refueled.

Shell plans to have hydrogen pumps at four other sites over the next 12 months.
