dc.description.abstract | Hydrogen has emerged as a possible transportation fuel for addressing long-term, sustainable energy supply, security, and
environmental problems. Yet, there are a number of barriers that need to be overcome if hydrogen vehicles are ever to penetrate
transportation markets, not the least of which is the development of a vehicle–infrastructure system. Hydrogen vehicles and refueling
infrastructure are complementary goods and must both successfully penetrate transportation markets for either to be successful. This
paper describes a system dynamics model created to investigate the vehicle–infrastructure phenomenon currently inhibiting the growth of
hydrogen transportation systems. Four scenarios explore the phenomenon through analysis of vehicle adoption, infrastructure
development rates, and hydrogen market conditions. We conclude that a coordinated policy approach that simultaneously encourages
both the purchase of hydrogen vehicles and the building of hydrogen infrastructure is the most effective approach for rapid
vehicle–infrastructure adoption. | en_US |
