Analysis of a hydrogen station roll-out strategy to introduce hydrogen vehicles in Andalusia
The issue of the distribution of a sufficient infrastructure of hydrogen fueling stations to enable meeting of the initial demand and to satisfy the different roll-out scenarios has been addressed by different authors, in different geographies, and with different methods and approaches. In this paper, we use a spatial approach to study the prospect of a sequential roll-out strategy from the present time to 2030 for Andalusia, a region in southern Spain. In every stage, we identify main nodes and clusters by examining in which areas of this region the roll-out of fueling stations should start. Finally, we estimate the number and size of fueling stations for every stage, as well as the investment required for this infrastructure roll-out based on the estimated costs for each type of hydrogen fueling station over the aforesaid time.
