Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, related challenges and European proposal roadmap for the 21st century

In this report we try to highlight the need for strategic planning and increased effort on research, development and deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. It also makes wide ranging recommendations for a more structured approach to European energy policy and research, for education and training, and for developing political and public awareness. Foremost amongst the recommendations is the establishment of a European hydrogen and fuel cell technology partnership and advisory council to guide the process.
