Abstract

The development of a hydrogen infrastructure is one of the main unsolved issues impeding the migration to a hydrogen economy. Numerous methods have been presented in the literature on how to meet the projected increased hydrogen demands created by the introduction of fuel cell vehicles. One leading early method includes transporting hydrogen from existing hydrogen production facilities to key fueling points. In this paper, systems analysis will be employed in order to investigate possible hydrogen architectures. Short and long term feasibilities of various hydrogen alternatives, including currently available technologies and the dynamic design of sustainable architectures, will be discussed.
