The Future of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

Clean Fleet Report

However, a handful of market-based and technological hurdles, such as high car repair costs and lack refueling stations, still stand in the way. These vehicles store the hydrogen in strong, high-pressure tanks, allowing them to achieve ranges comparable to conventional gasoline vehicles on a full tank. The existing U.S.

Sandia study finds underground geologic storage of hydrogen could boost transportation, energy security

Green Car Congress

Salt caverns such as the one depicted here could provide a low-cost solution for the geologic storage of hydrogen. The main findings of the economic analysis, published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy , show that geologic limitations rather than city demand cause a larger disparity between costs from one city to the next.
