COUNTRIES TO BENEFIT MOST FROM EARLY TRANSITION TO HYDROGEN FUELED TRANSPORTATION: MERIT FACTOR ANALYSIS

Abstract

The world consists of many countries having differences in many areas, ranging from size to economic level, from population to education, etc. Consequently, they are not going to convert to hydrogen-fueled transportation at the same time. Some will have the right conditions to convert to clean hydrogen transportation early, and other countries will have conditions which will result in a delay in conversion to hydrogen-fueled transportation. In order to find out which countries are the candidates for early conversion to hydrogen fueled transportation and which countries might convert to hydrogen-fueled transportation later, an analysis has been carried out covering almost all of the countries in the world.
