A new study from Edinburgh Business School at Heriot-Watt University has found that while hydrogen production, storage and fuel cell technologies are advancing rapidly, hydrogen distribution infrastructure is developing at half the speed, creating a bottleneck that could put billions in clean energy at risk. The findings, published in the journal Sustainable Futures, argue that while other hydrogen technologies improve and costs fall, distribution expenses could take up a large share of hydrogen system budgets, significantly limiti...
