Station availability is a major concern when the deployment of an alternative fuel such as hydrogen is considered. Too few stations will make the network inconvenient, while too many will make the refueling network cost prohibitive. As a follow-up analysis to two station siting analyses...

Station availability is a major concern when the deployment of an alternative fuel such as hydrogen is considered. Too few stations will make the network inconvenient, while too many will make the refueling network cost prohibitive. As a follow-up analysis to two station siting analyses...

In this paper we examine the potential air quality impacts of hydrogen transportation fuel from a lifecycle analysis perspective, including impacts from fuel production, delivery, and vehicle use. We assume that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are introduced in a specific region, Sacramento County,...

The aim of this thesis is to employ meso-level analysis in order to make a macro-level estimation. Meso-level analysis is used to generate a reasonable network of station sites, and this network is compared to the existing network of stations. By comparing networks of varying number to the...

Hydrogen offers potential advantages as a future energy carrier, with respect to reduced emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants, and enhanced energy supply security. However, the current lack of an extensive hydrogen (H2) infrastructure is often cited as a serious barrier to the...

Global energy challenges, including climate change, energy security and air quality, require that we transform the way we produce and use energy in transportation and other sectors. To reach long-term goals for deep reductions in transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, more efficient...

Proceedings of the National Hydrogen Association Annual Hydrogen Conference (NHA 2006), March 12 - 16, 2006 The development of a hydrogen refueling infrastructure is a challenging proposition, especially in the transition where the number of hydrogen vehicles is low. These challenges include the...

There is rapid, ongoing progress in development of both fuel cell vehicle technology, and hydrogen refueling systems. Although hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles are not yet ready for full commercial deployment, they are ready to take the next step toward commercialization. This is widely seen as a...
