HOUSTON, Nov. 10 -- Shell Hydrogen US opened a combined hydrogen and gasoline station in Washington, DC, the first such station in North America. The station offers both compressed and liquid hydrogen.

It's part of a partnership between Shell and General Motors Corp. to develop hydrogen vehicles on a commercial scale. The station will serve as the fueling station for six GM fuel cell minivans being driven around Washington.

Shell Hydrogen, established in 1999 as a global business of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group, has fuel cell demonstration projects in Japan, the US, and Europe.
