Europe is building a hydrogen-refuelling network before there is a large hydrogen-truck market to support it. Under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, hydrogen stations are supposed to be available along major motorway corridors at intervals of no more than 200 kilometres by 2030, with additional coverage at designated urban nodes. … [continued]
