Abstract: This study reviews the main problems of high air pollution levels at many urban cities and sustainability of the transportation fuels, and addressing their control measures using hydrogen energy system. In the world, majority of the transportation vehicle fleets consume the fuels derived from fossil resources. The development of economy activities indicate the increase in transportation services resulting in increased fuel consumption and high emissions, especially unregulated emission carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas (GHG). Therefore, utilization of hydrogen as fuel in vehicle fleet would improve energy security and reduce the GHG emission. A feasibility of hydrogen energy system, which includes its resources, production technologies, storage, fuel transportation, dispensing and utilization, is analysed for the road transportation sector.
