Project Description

Type of Project: Model
Category: Vehicle Options
Objectives: Quantify the effect of limited fueling station coverage on hydrogen vehicle demand; estimate the required vehicle price, fuel cost, and make/model availability to achieve, in equilibrium, various DOE sales targets for two station configurations
Methodology/Approach: Spatial, behavioral and dynamic market simulation
Data Used/Contributing Research:
Outputs: Vehicle sales; fuel prices; vehicle cost; vehicle availability
Assumptions Inherent in Model: Fuel price in the $2-$3 range; Los Angeles area
Milestones Supported:
  • Systems Analysis Milestone 4: Complete a “lessons learned” study of the development of other infrastructures which apply to hydrogen fuel and vehicles.
    • Organization: DOE/EERE/HFCIT
    • Completion Date: September 2008
  • Systems Analysis Milestone 5: Complete analysis and studies of resource/feedstock, production/delivery and existing infrastructure for various hydrogen scenarios.
    • Organization: DOE/EERE/HFCIT
    • Completion Date: September 2009
