“…By 2050 however, the transportation sector is predicted to be the single greatest demand case for hydrogen as an energy vector [229]. To make this affordable for consumers however high transportation and refuelling station costs will need to be addressed [230]. The purity required for vehicular hydrogen will pose a problem for biological hydrogen, which will either need to be purified downstream or extracted from biogas mixtures in such a way that makes it inherently high-purity as per the electrochemical approach employed by Massanet-Nicolau et al [205].…”

Utilising ‘wastes’ as ‘resources’ is key to a circular economy. While there are multiple routes to waste valorisation, anaerobic digestion (AD)—a biochemical means to breakdown organic wastes in the absence of oxygen—is favoured due to its capacity to handle a variety of feedstocks. Traditional AD focuses on the production of biogas and fertiliser as products; however, such low-value products combined with longer residence times and slow kinetics have paved the way to explore alternative product platforms. The intermediate steps in conventional AD—acidogenesis and acetogenesis—have the capability to produce biohydrogen and volatile fatty acids (VFA) which are gaining increased attention due to the higher energy density (than biogas) and higher market value, respectively. This review hence focusses specifically on the production of biohydrogen and VFAs from organic wastes. With the revived interest in these products, a critical analysis of recent literature is needed to establish the current status. Therefore, intensification strategies in this area involving three main streams: substrate pre-treatment, digestion parameters and product recovery are discussed in detail based on literature reported in the last decade. The techno-economic aspects and future pointers are clearly highlighted to drive research forward in relevant areas.

“…Large central hydrogen production facilities (750,000 kg/day) that take advantage of economies of scale will be needed in the long term to meet the expected large hydrogen demand. Compared with distributed production, centralized production will require more capital investment as well as a substantial hydrogen transport and delivery infrastructure [39].…”

“…Intermediate-size hydrogen production facilities (5,000-50,000 kg/day) located in close proximity (25-100 miles) to the point of use may play an important role in the long-term use of hydrogen as an energy carrier. These facilities can provide not only a level of economy of scale but also minimize hydrogen transport costs and infrastructure [39].…”

“…For example UC Irvine's fuelling station has on-site storage of only 25kg per day, which wouldn't be capable of providing more than a full refill to approximately 15 fuel cell vehicles. However newer stations [40] are capable of delivering 750 kg/day of hydrogen [39]. The typical sizes anticipated for an initial hydrogen refuelling network range from 100kg/day for portable stations (ISO containers) to 1000kg/day for the larger refuelling stations.…”

Hydrogen has immense potential as an energy vector. Once produced and stored the energy contained can be exploited in energy generation. This exploitation is thought to be able to rival more traditional methods of energy generation such as coal and gas powered power stations. Typically hydrogen is expected to be deployed in fuel cells, however there exist options in combusting the hydrogen to release the stored energy. Early markets and economic demand will force the first steps of hydrogen technology. At present road vehicles are seen as the technology of choice, with early adopters keen to take up this technology as we move forward to a low carbon future. Parallel to this is the need to have such an infrastructure to support deployment. In this paper we look at a few of the key areas were hydrogen is in transportation and discuss the infrastructure that is required to support the technology.
