Development of hydrogen refueling stations: innovations and improvements in the context of global trends
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2025.01.173-185
Abstract
This article addresses pressing issues in the development of hydrogen refueling infrastructure as a key component in promoting environmentally friendly transportation. It provides a review of recent research and approaches to the design and optimization of hydrogen refueling stations (Hydrogen Refueling Station, HRS), including methods of hydrogen fuel delivery and storage. The current state and global distribution of HRS are analyzed, highlighting major challenges such as safety, production costs, transportation, and storage of hydrogen. Various configurations and technological solutions aimed at improving hydrogen refueling systems are examined, with the potential to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen infrastructure. The study underscores the importance of advancing this field to reduce carbon emissions and transition to more sustainable energy sources.
