Hydrogen-fueled vehicles are becoming a more common and important part of a cleaner and more sustainable transportation future. The development of a network of hydrogen-dispensing fueling stations is essential to enable further progress. For local regulatory agencies, this future poses the challenge of applying codes and standards to allow safe but expeditious permitting of new hydrogen fueling stations, as well as the addition of hydrogen fueling at existing gasoline stations. While hydrogen is a new and different fuel for vehicles, it is used extensively in other applications, such as a chemical feedstock and to power space exploration. The experience of hydrogen fueling station developers and vehicle manufacturers is still limited, but hydrogen is an established fuel that is fully safe if handled properly as all fuels must be.
