Abstract: A shift towards lower-carbon fuels is mandatory to achieve the decarbonisation of the transport sector, which is responsible of 14% of world greenhouse gas emissions. Despite to the fact that fuel cell electric vehicles are zero tail-pipe emissions vehicles, their use is presently residual. A massive integration of fuel cell vehicles faces a “chicken-egg dilemma”: vehicles need a proper refuelling infrastructure to provide a safe and continuous hydrogen supply, but a viable deployment of the refuelling infrastructure needs the support of an initial market of vehicles.
