The UK has limited hydrogen refuelling infrastructure
UK hydrogen mobility lags other markets
Country must accelerate progress on rolling out refuelling infrastructure, says industry association
The UK is falling behind other countries in deploying refuelling infrastructure for hydrogen vehicles, an industry body has warned. The UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (UK HFCA) has set up a working group to examine the issue of hydrogen refuelling in the country, with a focus on providing recommendations for future provision. “Aside from the actual vehicle technology, the creation of a fuelling station network is essential to the market development of these new vehicles,” says Celia Greaves, CEO of UK HFCA. “At the moment, there is a limited number of hydrogen refuelling stations in the UK. These offer refuelling times similar to conventional petrol or diesel cars, and we need to expa
