This chapter examines the role of hydrogen, and fuel-cell vehicle technologies in particular, in contributing to a future sustainable transport system and also shows the limitation of such an approach. Particular areas that need to be addressed in this respect include emissions, safety, land use, noise and social inclusion. Vehicle technologies will play a key role in addressing several of these. 

Policy instruments (see Table 19.5) to meet the various sustainability targets may be classified into infrastructure investment, traffic demand management (TDM), regulation, pricing and support research and development (R D) in new technologies. Each of these measures consists of several variants, which will, however, not be considered in detail in this volume. The following matrix undertakes an attempt to propose the appropriateness of the various classes of policy measures to meet specific subobjectives of a sustainable transport development.

Dr Joan Ogden is Professor of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California, Davis, and Director of the Sustainable Transportation Energy Pathways Program at the campus s Institute of Transportation Studies. Her primary research interest is the technical and economic assessment of new energy technologies, especially in the areas of alternative fuels, fuel cells, renewable energy and low carbon energy systems. She received a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Illinois, and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Maryland. 

Dr Christopher Yang is a researcher at the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis. He is a co-leader of Infrastructure Systems Analysis within the Sustainable Transportation Energy Pathways (STEPS) Program and his work focuses mainly on the analysis of hydrogen infrastructure, the grid impacts of electric vehicle charging and the reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions from transportation systems. 

As stated at the outset, for hydrogen to contribute to sustainable transport, it is not sufficient that it reduces transport C02 and improves supply diversity, it must... 

The EU green car initiative is targeted at the encouragement of all road transport stakeholders to move towards more sustainable transport, mainly by funding industry research and development.
