Hydrogen is the favored alternative fuel for German motorists according to a survey by Deutsche Energie-Agentur (DENA), with 34% of respondents preferring the fuel over alternatives if available at the same price point. Overall, it found that 74% of drivers would opt for an alternative to gasoline or diesel power provided there was price parity. Interestingly, BEVs came in third (17%) after hydrogen and hybrids (18%).

These findings tally with the German government’s efforts to increase investment in hydrogen infrastructure, with it recently releasing a National Hydrogen strategy to further hydrogen production using renewable energy, as well as associated technologies.
