The study aims to devise a plan for locating hydrogen refueling stations in Yokohama City, Japan, for the near future, taking into account the use of mobile and parallel-siting stations. The results emphasize the importance of planning the locations of hydrogen refueling stations and recommend the use of mobile-type stations.
Establishing hydrogen refueling stations is key to transition into a hydrogen economy. To achieve this, a near-term, city-level roll-out plan is required, as Japan is shifting from the demonstration to implementation stage of a hydrogen economy. The aim of this study was to devise a plan to identify near-term locations to build hydrogen refueling stations in Yokohama City, Japan. Our plan provides information on the potential location of hydrogen refueling stations for 2020-2030. We considered mobile and parallel-siting type refueling stations; the locations of these stations were determined by matching the supply and demand estimated from hybrid vehicle ownership data and the available space in existing gas stations based on a safety perspective. The results reaffirmed the importance of planning the locations of hydrogen refueling stations and highlighted the suitability of using mobile-type stations. This was based on the uncertainty in fuel demand for fuel cell vehicles during the implementation stage of the hydrogen economy. ? 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
