Hydrogen refuel rollout in Europe heads for failure

/by

As hydrogen infrastructure is rolled out in the EU, refuelling stations must be distributed according to the same principle in all countries. However, a study from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden now highlights shortcomings in EU regulations. Using an advanced model, the researchers show that the distribution of refueling stations may be incorrectly dimensioned and lead to losses of tens of millions of euros a year in some countries.
