Abstract
In paper is presented programs of hydrogen technology development in the road transport, in the world. Also is presented: status and trends of the road network changes in Poland, with particular emphasis on the Polish sections of the TEN-T network, production technologies and hydrogen production in Poland, preliminary indications of the future hydrogen refuelling stations locations in Poland, assumptions for the development of hydrogen-powered vehicle fleet in Poland by the 2050, expert forecast of the demand for hydrogen by the road transport in Poland by the 2050 and the ecological effects of the use of hydrogen fuel in the road transport in Poland by the 2050.
Highlights
The advantages of hydrogen as an automotive fuel is the lack of pollutants emission from motor vehicles’ engines, which is especially important in crowded city centers and with the possibilities of its local production
The use of hydrogen fuel in the road transport to a large degree brings about independence from the import of crude oil and crude oil derived fuels
The development of hydrogen technology in the road transport in the EU countries is recommended, among the others, in the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council 2014/94/EU of 22 October 2014 [6]
Summary
The advantages of hydrogen as an automotive fuel is the lack of pollutants emission from motor vehicles’ engines, which is especially important in crowded city centers and with the possibilities of its local production. „Clean Hydrogen in European Cities” – CHIC where 23 partners of 8 countries invested EUR 81 million in HRS and 28 hydrogen buses (5 in Bologna, 8 in London, 5 in Oslo, 6 in Hamburg and 4 in Cologne) or „Hydrogen Acceptance In the Transition Phase – Public and Stakeholder Acceptance of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle In Europe” – HYACINTH. This project brings together 11 partners from 5 countries and a budget of EUR 1 million, of which EU funds total EUR 661 thousand [9,10,11]. Despite the strategic importance of developing hydrogen filling stations infrastructure, in the available materials, including various national implementation programs for hydrogen propulsion technology developments, the explicitly formulated programming methodology for the development of these stations, has not been encountered
