“…Hydrogen refueling stations (HRSs) are typically categorized into two types based on the pressure used during refueling: up to 35 MPa for buses and trucks and up to 70 MPa for passenger cars [11,13,22,33,34]. In both cases, the hydrogen produced in the electrolyzer (or obtained from another source) is collected in a storage tank.…”

Alternative fuels such as hydrogen, compressed natural gas, and liquefied natural gas are considered as feasible energy carriers. Selected positive factors from the EU climate and energy policy on achieving climate neutrality by 2050 highlighted the need for the gradual expansion of the infrastructure for alternative fuel. In this research, continuity equations and the first and second laws of thermodynamics were used to develop a theoretical model to explore the impact of hydrogen and natural gas on both the filling process and the ultimate in-cylinder conditions of a type IV composite cylinder (20 MPa for CNG, 35 MPa and 70 MPa for hydrogen). A composite tank was considered an adiabatic system. Within this study, based on the GERG-2008 equation of state, a thermodynamic model was developed to compare and determine the influence of (i) hydrogen and (ii) natural gas on the selected thermodynamic parameters during the fast-filling process. The obtained results show that the cylinder-filling time, depending on the cylinder capacity, is approximately 36–37% shorter for pure hydrogen compared to pure methane, and the maximum energy stored in the storage tank for pure hydrogen is approximately 28% lower compared to methane, whereas the total entropy generation for pure hydrogen is approximately 52% higher compared to pure methane.

“…Hydrogen is a sustainable and eco-friendly fuel, but its storage is challenging due to its gaseous nature. Pressurized tank storage is a physical method that allows for more fuel to be stored in a smaller space, but it is expensive and can be hazardous if not handled properly [29]. Metal hydrides store hydrogen at moderate conditions, but they are heavy and costly.…”

The increasing global demand for energy and the pressing challenge of environmental pollution necessitates a paradigm shift towards sustainable energy sources. Hydrogen, a viable renewable energy carrier, has the potential to substantially alleviate these concerns. This review offers a comprehensive exploration of the technologies imperative to the production and operation of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), ranging from various fuel cell types, hydrogen storage methods, fueling station logistics, batteries in hydrogen vehicles, and the emerging influence of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. An analytical overview of global adoption patterns reveals significant geographical disparities, with the United States and South Korea at the forefront of FCV integration, primarily in the form of passenger cars, followed by buses and trucks. Asia emerges as the region with the highest proportion of FCVs. This paper also delves into the diverse challenges facing FCV implementation, shedding light on the essential role of continued investment in the evolution of sustainable transportation systems. Furthermore, it provides insights into the varying contributions of different companies in the field, demonstrating the collective effort required to advance this promising technology. The comprehensive exploration provided in this review aids in understanding the opportunities, challenges, and potential of hydrogen as an integral player in the future of sustainable transportation. The increasing need for energy carriers and the rise of environmental pollution have driven the exploration of renewable energy sources, with hydrogen being a promising option.

“…Roberta Caponi et al [31] analyzed the cost of five types of hydrogen with a capacity of 100-400 kg d À1 HRS, and the analysis showed that the cost of the on-site hydrogen production HRS was about 11-12 EUR kg À1 , while the cost of the external delivery HRS was 8-9 EUR kg À1 . Roberta Caponi et al [32] compared the performance of the singlestage hydrogenation system and the stepped hydrogenation system, and the research results showed that the heat generated by the stepped hydrogenation system during the filling process was 20% lower than that of the single-stage hydrogenation system, and the investment and operating cost of the stepped hydrogenation system was also lower than that of the single-stage hydrogenation system. He Li et al [33] studied the safety and risk issues at various stages of the UK government's strategy to integrate the hydrogen economy with sustainability goals, and their findings contributed to advancing the country's progress toward a low-carbon future and effectively addressing social and environmental challenges.…”

Hydrogen energy is recognized as the most potential renewable energy in the 21st century due to the rising depletion of fossil fuels. Hydrogen refilling stations, as the infrastructure of hydrogen energy, are one of the key components of the entire hydrogen energy industry chain. Analyzing the filling process of hydrogen‐refueling stations (HRS) helps to promote the construction of HRSs. Thus, it promotes the construction of a clean, low‐carbon, safe, and efficient energy system and the high‐quality development of the hydrogen energy industry. In this article, gas cylinders with nominal working pressures of 35 and 70 MPa are filled using three different HRSs, such as single‐stage fixed station, three‐stage fixed station, and skid station. The filling end temperature, filling energy consumption, filling rate, and filling time during the filling process are compared and analyzed. In the results, it is shown that skid station has the advantages of lower filling end temperature and less energy consumption. Thus, in terms of reducing energy loss, the skid‐mounted HRSs can be promoted.
