General Motors has announced that it will build a hydrogen fueling station in Los Angeles in conjunction with Clean Energy Corp. The goal for this project is to promote the benefits of the clean-burning fuel, as well as G.M.’s progress in the field of alternative fuels. The two companies are also open to building the new hydrogen infrastructure in that hopes that it will build acceptance among consumers, and prove that hydrogen could one day be a successful alternative to fossil fuels.

Clean Energy is the leader in providing natural gas as fuel for transportation in North America and is lending its expertise at the storage and delivery of the fuel.

The hydrogen station will be used by drivers participating in Chevrolet’s Project Driveway, the world’s largest test of fuel cell vehicles, as well as the hydrogen fuel cell limo service being run by GM and Virgin Atlantic for its international travelers.

The project Driveway included more than 100 Chevy Equinox fuel cell vehicles leased to customers around the world, the first being delivered in L.A., New York City, and Washington D.C.
