Shell Oil Co. has opened California´s first hydrogen refueling port at a conventional gas station in Los Angeles.

The facility will provide refueling services for hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles, producing the hydrogen onsite through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy bought from the Los Angeles City Department of Water & Power.

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles produce zero carbon emissions, emitting only water vapor from the tailpipe.
