How much will Hydrogen fuel cost?
The U.S. Department of Energy's Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Infrastructure Technologies Program is working to achieve the following goals:
By 2005, the technology will be available to produce hydrogen at the pump for $3.00 per gallon gasoline equivalent, and DOE wants to validate this technology by 2008. By 2010, the price goal is $1.50 per gallon of gasoline equivalent (untaxed) at the station.
Even $3 a gallon would save most of us money, since FCVs will
be two to three times more efficient than internal combustion
engine (ICE) vehicles. If all the goals are met, FCVs offer
the promise of energy at $1 a gallon - or less!
