In-Depth Information
As of December 2009, there were 63 hydrogen illing stations in the United States.
Many of them are located in California.
hydrogen gas can be placed in special trailers and shipped by
truck, train, or ship. This is usually done for distances of less
than 200 miles (320 kilometers). Hydrogen can also be specially
treated so that, in liquid form, it can be transported by truck,
train, or ship. The process to change the gas to a liquid is
expensive, though.
The people manufacturing the hydrogen fuel, building the
pipelines, and otherwise arranging for transporting the fuel
want to be sure that there will be enough hydrogen-fuel vehicles
on the road to make the costs worthwhile. From the other view,
vehicle manufacturers want to be sure that the hydrogen fuel
will be easily available before they spend the money to produce
leets of hydrogen-fueled cars and buses.
