The publication analyzes estimates of the number of hydrogen refueling stations in the Czech Republic between 2025 and 2050, as well as low-emission hydrogen production and electricity consumption. It considers the use of photovoltaics and small modular nuclear reactors and proposes locating these technologies on brownfield sites.
Abstract
This publication focuses on estimating the number of hydrogen refueling stations in the Czech Republic between 2025 and 2050, the associated production of low-emission hydrogen, and the related electricity consumption. In addition to photovoltaics, a small modular nuclear reactor is considered as a source of low-emission electricity for electrolysers. Methods for producing low-emission hydrogen are proposed, along with the use of currently unused industrial sites, so-called brownfields, to house hydrogen production technologies, electricity sources, and other hydrogen infrastructure, such as hydrogen storage and transport facilities, or hydrogen refueling stations.
