Singapore has gone into partnership with Diamler Chrysler on the fuel cell car concept. The infrastructure for H2 filling stations would be set up. It would be a few more years before everyone would be driving a fuel cell car. Though the pollution would be coming from the main H2 plant. That's is where all the carbon is coming from.
