Hydrogen Fuel Station Formally Opens in South Carolina Aiken Standard, by Mike Gellatly, March 31, 2009 http://www.aikenstandard.com/Local/0331Hydrogen South Carolina's first hydrogen refueling station was officially opened Monday in Aiken, along with the new South Carolina Hydrogen Highway. At the ribbon cutting, officials demonstrated how to fill up a hydrogen-powered vehicle. The Aiken County-owned truck has a range of about 150 miles on a full tank, but more impressive for travel was the Kia Borrega, which was also filled up. In the fuel cell vehicle, a 7.9 kilogram fill-up translates to more than 400 miles of travel in the SUV. With no hydrogen being made in South Carolina, a kilogram of hydrogen costs around $7. A kilogram is similar to a gallon of gasoline. However, with more demand, supply would increase and the price would drop.
