Hydrogen infrastructure penetration scenario

As part of its systems analysis, the DOE should map out and evaluate a transition plan consistent with developing the infrastructure and hydrogen resources necessary to support the committee s hydrogen vehicle penetration scenario or another similar demand scenario. The DOE should estimate what levels of investment over time are required—and in which program and project areas—in order to achieve a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from passenger vehicles by midcentury. 

Table 11.2 summarizes the variation in the hydrogen demand scenarios. The time snapshots on which the infrastructure analysis is based are related to the number of hydrogen vehicles on European roads. A discrete infrastructure scenario consists of a penetration scenario (when will this number of vehicles be on the roads ), a local use scenario (what percentage...
