“We absolutely need hydrogen in the mix, and we need cost-effective ways to get hydrogen from where it’s produced to where it will be consumed,” said Tyson Eckerle, deputy director of zero-emissions vehicle market development for GoBiz. “Pipelines are a really key component of the mix.”
Right now, most of the hydrogen provided to retail fueling stations is carried in diesel tanker trucks, Eckerle said, though efforts are being made to transition them to big rigs fueled with hydrogen fuel cells to decrease their emissions footprint.
Getting people to adopt hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, “a lot of it comes down to cost, which relates directly to scale, which is why pipelines are so important,” Eckerle said.
