The RV1 route passes through some of London’s most polluted areas, so its conversion to hydrogen power will help to improve London’s air quality. This is set to expand to 300 and, from 2012, will be joined by the Mayor’s New Bus for London, which will be 40% less polluting than a traditional diesel bus.

SGH2’s gasification process uses a plasma-enhanced thermal catalytic conversion process optimized with oxygen-enriched gas. The SPEG process extracts all carbon from the waste feedstock, removes all particulates and acid gases, and produces no toxins or pollution. That’s why our partnership with SGH2 is so important.

Gasification is emerging as a core technology for the production of chemicals and cleaner power, and refers to a process for converting solid fuels, including coal, biomass, and wastes, into either fuel gas (containing CH 4 and some N 2 usually) or syngas (containing mainly H 2 and CO) for subsequent conversion into fuels and chemicals.

I mean, when the electricity it uses is produces, pollution still happens, just not "right from your car"? Having centralized energy production in that way allows for centralized pollution control measures, filters, so-called "clean coal" rather than depending on X number of cars, manufacturers, and consumers to deal with pollution control.
