GM, ChevronTexaco Agree To Develop Gas Fuel Cells.(Brief Article)

General Motors Corp. and ChevronTexaco Corp. said that they had formed a pact to speed the pace of introducing gasoline fuel cells in cars, a technology that cuts emissions of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in half. "Car technology is changing, and we need to work to modify our fuels for use in fuel cell vehicles," said Gary Masada, president of ChevronTexaco's Energy Research and Technology Center in a statement.

Neither company revealed the amount of money being spent on the "multi-year" project, or how many fuel cell cars they expect to make. GM has said it expects to be the first automaker to sell over a million cars and trucks run on fuel cells, but the technology will not be available for the masses until the end of the decade.
