Hydrogen as a fuel in the transport sector in Algeria

First, a review of the Algerian transport sector is presented. Hydrogen as a fuel in vehicles is then analyzed. The needs for hydrogen to power vehicle hydrogen vehicle are estimated. Based on the techno-economic factors, a comparative of the economic viability of a hydrogen powered vehicles with a gasoline powered vehicle is carried out. The PV-electrolysis technique for hydrogen production is considered. Results show that, advancement in technology and improvement in manufacturing are going to lead to the development of a hydrogen fuel based transport sector.
