Hydrogenation of road transport on the example of Sweden and Poland

Abstract

The article analyzes the activities within the EU and national concerning the introduction of hydrogen fuel in road transport. The advantages and disadvantages of this drive were addressed. A directional program of hydrogen propulsion technology motion was presented on the example of Sweden and Poland. The most recent activities in Sweden regarding the so-called Nordic Hydrogen Corridor European Project.

The location of basic hydrogen refueling stations in Poland until 2030 was proposed (HIT-2-Corridors European Project). These stations should be located in both TEN-T corridors running through Poland, i.e. in 1 - Poznan 2 - Warsaw, 3 - Bialystok, 4 - Szczecin, 5 - the Lodz region, 6 - the Tri-City region, 7 - Wroclaw, 8 - the Katowice region, 9 – Krakow, to ensure the possibility of passing vehicles equipped with fuel cells (FCEV - Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) among others between Western Europe and Scandinavia.
