Abstract:

This paper assesses the development of hydrogen fueling infrastructure networks around the world. The authors compile data on the current state of development of fuel cell vehicle technology. They summarize research on hydrogen fueling infrastructure, technology pathways, station planning, and funding from prominent fuel cell vehicle development markets. The paper focuses on infrastructure for hydrogen fueling for fuel cell vehicles, but does not address the systems or processes necessary to produce the hydrogen. This paper concludes with a discussion of implications for public policy and investment strategies based on this assessment to help guide hydrogen infrastructure deployment.
