| Abstract |
Most hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are still in
the early stages of commercialisation and currently
struggle to compete with alternative technologies,
including other low-carbon options, due to high
costs. Additional attention will be required before
their potential can be fully realised. Governments
can help accelerate the development and
deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies
by ensuring continued research, development
and demonstration (RD&D) funding for hydrogen
generation and conversion technologies, such as
electrolysers and fuel cells. This will facilitate early
commercialisation of fuel cell electric vehicles and
support demonstration projects for VRE integration
using hydrogen-based energy storage applications.
Overcoming risks related to investment in
infrastructure hinges upon close collaboration
among many stakeholders, such as the oil and gas
industry, utilities and power grid providers, car
manufacturers, and local, regional and national
authorities. |
