Report: Hydrogen Energy Roadmap to Future Economic Development
www.nyserda.org/programs/Research_Development/hydrogen.asp
In October 2005, NYSERDA released The New York State Hydrogen Energy Roadmap,
a survey of resources, and a strategy for developing them into a hydrogen-based fuel
economy for New York. The strategy, drafted by three prominent research groups, was
commissioned by NYSERDA, the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and the Long
Island Power Authority (LIPA). The goal is for hydrogen, by 2020, to serve as a fuel for
transportation and stationary power markets, displacing imported and polluting energy
sources.
The New York roadmap presents a three-phase, market-based transition strategy. The
state’s phases are:
• Phase I – Demonstrate pre-commercial, high-profile hydrogen technologies;
• Phase II – Build the 3C’s: Hydrogen Clusters, Cities, and Corridors (market
entry); and
• Phase III – Link the Hydrogen Clusters (commercialization).
For example, the roadmap calls for the installation of hydrogen fueling stations from
Buffalo to New York City over the next ten years. Their availability coincides with the
planned development of commercially viable hydrogen-fueled vehicles for use in fleets
and personal travel. Further, it suggests additional investments will be encouraged
throughout the State to support the production, transportation, storage and use of
hydrogen.
