WASHINGTON - About four miles east of the U.S. Capitol, in an industrial section of town, sits a gas station that looks like any other. But its not, because on Wednesday it became the first in North America to have a hydrogen dispensing pump.
Shell executives, Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham and District of Columbia Mayor Anthony Williams unveiled the technology, which the Bush administration hopes will help reduce the countrys dependence on foreign oil.

ICE Shuttle Buses to Canadian Senate 14 December 2006
Ford Delivers 3 Hydrogen shuttles for the (Canadian) Senate.
Ford of Canada recently became the first automaker to deliver hydrogen-fueled vehicles for fleet use in Canada. Three Canadian-made hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine-powered shuttle buses are replacing gasoline-powered buses used by the Senate of Canada in Ottawa.
In addition, Ford of Canada is preparing seven more hydrogen shuttle buses for use in other regions of Canada. Ford announced the development of its H2ICE Shuttle Busbased on an E-450 chassis cab and powered by a modified 6.8-liter V-10 Triton enginein 2004. Eight H2ICE E-450 shuttles are going into service in Florida. (Earlier post.)
Industry Canada has invested C$4.2 million (US$3.6 million) toward the hydrogen internal combustion engine Shuttle Bus Demonstration Project. The governments contribution under Industry Canadas Hydrogen Early Adopters (h2EA) program is part of an C$8.5-million project being undertaken by Ford of Canada in partnership with ATFCAN, a not-for-profit group, to demonstrate the operation of hydrogen-powered shuttle buses in real-world conditions.
