| dc.description.abstract | The cost for renewable electricity has decreased in recent years, making it economically feasible to produce renewable fuels, such as hydrogen, to substitute fossil fuels. Hydrogen can with onboard fuel cells be used to generate electricity to power vehicles, thus constituting a renewable alternative for the transportation sector. Vehicles powered by hydrogen are dependant on a refueling infrastructure in order to be adopted. This study, conducted in collaboration with Volvo Group, has aimed at understanding how a hydrogen refueling infrastructure could develop by conducting interviews with multiple actors expected to be involved in it. It is concluded that the hydrogen infrastructure can consist of a system with both centralized and decentralized production units and a hydrogen production that is neither fully nor non-dedicated for the transportation sector. To manage the high costs associated with the establishment of a hydrogen infrastructure, actors are recommended to collaborate and engage in partnerships to mitigate the costs and risks of such projects. It is therefore not viable with a production unit that is dedicated for any sole purposes. Further, more hydrogen projects should be initiated in Sweden to increase the knowledge level and accelerate the development. Many actors believe that a framework laying out a pathway for the development is needed, something that the public sector could help establish. By undertaking a role of initiating and supporting hydrogen projects, Volvo Group could increase the knowledge about the technology and promote a hydrogen infrastructure development. | sv |
