Summary Hydrogen infrastructure has to be existent before any reasonable fuel cell vehicle deployments can take place. ABI updates the inundated market information in the market place in this study. The study details pathways for hydrogen production, distribution, and storage from 2005 to 2015 in major urban centers in the US, and in Canada. The study analyzes fuel cell vehicles adoption rate, and essential infrastructure requirements for alternative routes from capital investment to technological challenges. ABI details each major fuel source for hydrogen by delineating supply&demand, and price correlations. Most active states, and metropolitan centers are being projected with realistic adoption rates to depict a clear picture for major stakeholders from federal&state&local governments to energy, auto, utility and to fuel cell companies.
