What is the most up-to-date information on hydrogen fuel cell use in automobiles in the United States? How many hydrogen fueling stations are there and where are they?
Thank you for asking. Let's try to answer as per the contemporary scenario.
A fuel cell works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy by the movement of charged hydrogen ions that run across an electrolyte membrane and generate current. Despite being less efficient than electric batteries, they indeed have better internal combustion technology. Basically, their development much or less relies on how much government is willing to spend in the initial phases. Passenger FCEVs while lost ground to EV's but the interest in hydrogen technology is growing for their immense benefits in other applications and market segments. FCEV technology. Is widely used for purposes related to commerce where bulkier vehicles need to travel greater distances, carrying heavy loads with minimal stoppage for refueling. These are gradually replacing compressed natural gas without much affecting the infrastructural setup.
As of now, there are 39 hydrogen fueling stations in USA in which 35 in California, 2 in South Carolina, and 2 in the Northeast. While there are total of 369 hydrogen stations worldwide in which 337 are publicly accessible.
I hope you were looking for this. Please feel free to ask any questions you have. I'll more than happy to explain them for you. Thanks again.
