To enhance hydrogen storage capacity, research on alternative technologies such as chemical storage in the form of metal hydride, ammonia, ionic liquid, formic acid, carbon nanotubes and glass microspheres has been ongoing.

In September, the six partners involved in the H2 mobility initiative in Germany (Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell and Total) agreed to expand the hydrogen infrastructure from the current 15 hydrogen filling stations to 100 filling stations by 2017 and to 400 filling stations by 2023. The infrastructure expansion project will cost $474 million and will provide at least 10 filling stations for each metropolitan area in Germany by 2023. In addition to Germany, H2 mobility initiatives have started in other European countries - the UK, France, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Portugal.
Equally significant is the announcement of the second phase of Europe’s ‘Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH) Joint Technology Initiative’ (JTI), a public-private partnership between the European Commission and EU industry. This initiative will invest $1.8 billion in the next 10 years to develop market-ready fuel cell and hydrogen technologies. The initiative aims to reduce fuel cell costs by 90%, increase fuel cell efficiency by 10%, and demonstrate the feasibility of large-scale renewable hydrogen production.
