Hydrogen Highways Hydrogen Filling Points at all Motorway Service Areas

Dear Secretary of State,
Please require all Motorway Service Areas to provide Hydrogen refuelling facilities for Fuel Cell cars by 2018 so that people who wish to travel without creating harmful emissions by using Hydrogen powered vehicles can be sure of being able to refuel on long journeys.

Why is this important?

Over one and a half million hydrogen powered vehicles could be on UK roads by 2030 according to a joint Government-industry study published today. The forecast is made in an interim report commissioned to evaluate the benefits of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and ensure the UK is well positioned for their commercial roll-out.
