MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Ground work is under way for a new hydrogen fueling station in Morgantown, the first in West Virginia.
The National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium at West Virginia University says it’s only the 10th nationwide — and most of those are in California.

WVU will demonstrate the efficiency of running automobiles on hydrogen fuel made from electricity, using five hydrogen-powered vehicles.
Consortium director Bill Davis says hydrogen is being used as a fuel for passenger vehicles. This study will test its use in internal combustion engines.
Davis says in the long term, hydrogen will either be produced from coal, or coal will provide the electricity necessary to produce hydrogen via electrolysis.
He says that could be significant for West Virginia.
The fueling station is expected to be finished by midsummer.
