Abstract

In fiscal 2004 and 2005, the National Renewable Energy Lab developed a proposed minimal infrastructure to support nationwide deployment of hydrogen vehicles by offering infrastructure scenarios that facilitated interstate travel. The current (FY06) project aims to identify key metropolitan areas and regions on which to focus infrastruce efforts during the early hydrogen transition. The objectives of this analysis are to (1) quantify projected hydrogen vehicle demand across the U.S. and in targeted metropolitan areas; and, (2) quantify the projected hydrogen fuel demands corresponding with different levels of hydrogen vehicle demand to inform infrastructure analyses such as siting hydrogen fueling stations and selecting between centralized and distributed hydrogen production.
