Fuel Cells - UK - Buses are being tested
UK -The Herald/Fuelcellsworks.com -Feb 4, 2006: -- Biofuels may be hogging the limelight, but fuel cells are tipped as the answer to renewable fuels for transport... Some fuel-cell taxis and buses are being tested in the UK, including a trial of three fuel-cell buses in London as part of a Europe-wide trial... Initially, two fuel-cell buses ran beside the normal service until their reliability could be established. Once proven, all three buses ran as part of the normal service. Similar trials have take place in Australia, America and Canada... Ahead of them all is Iceland, which opened the first hydrogen refuelling station in Reykjavík in April, 2003. The station refuels three fuel-cell buses running on the public transport network in the city. The station is self-sustaining, as it produces the hydrogen it needs via an electrolysing unit... Personal and small-scale hydrogen producers are also being developed, but it is estimated that hydrogen won't be competitively priced until at least 2010...
