“…Physical barriers to AFV production generally relate to restrictions on the availability of material inputs and this may ultimately be a critical constraint to the global production of, for example, electric vehicles, which may require the extraction of rare earth metals and platinum group metals as battery materials (Ball and Wietschel, 2009) An additional specific physical barrier for EVs is the provision of charging points at locations where parking is restricted, e.g. apartment blocks, terraced houses, or where there is no onsite parking.…”

There appears to be increasing policy emphasis globally on developing innovative technologies and promoting incentives to support the take-up of alternative fuels and vehicles (AFVs) among consumers. The primary reason for this is that they potentially offer a pathway to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution in the transport sector, without the need for contentious transport demand management measures such as road pricing or restrictive land use planning. However, despite the fact that AFVs are often seen as a panacea by policy-makers, there are a number of barriers to their widespread market penetration and diffusion. The objective of this paper is to present a framework, which can be modified and used by policy-makers to identify and qualitatively evaluate these barriers as well as potential policies that might be implemented to address these barriers. The paper concludes by assessing the strengths and weaknesses of applying this framework . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 1 How Should Barriers to Alternative Fuels and Vehicles be Classified and Potential Policies to Promote Innovative Technologies be Evaluated?Abstract There appears to be increasing policy emphasis globally on developing innovative technologies and promoting incentives to support the take-up of alternative fuels and vehicles (AFVs) among consumers.

“…Development of efficient and low cost hydrogen production technologies is an urgent task due to the increased demand of clean energy generation [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. At present more than 50 million tons of hydrogen are produced annually worldwide and much of this hydrogen is used in the chemical and refinery industries [15].…”

POSS (polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes) nanotechnology was applied for preparation of efficient Ni catalysts for hydrogen production through autothermal reforming of methane (ATR of CH 4 ). The novel metal-POSS precursor [Nickel (II) -HeptaisobutylPOSS (C 4 H 9 ) 7 Si 7 O 9 (OH)O 2 Ni] of Ni nanoparticles was introduced into Ce 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 support with following calcination and reduction stages of activation. The peculiarity of the genesis of Ni/SiO 2 /Ce 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 nanomaterials and their characteristics versus deposition mode were studied by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, thermal analysis, N 2 adsorption, X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and H 2 temperature-programmed reduction. The two kinds of supported Ni-containing particles were observed: highly dispersed Ni forms (1-2 nm) and large Ni-containing particles (up to 50-100 nm in size). It was demonstrated that the textural, structural, red-ox and, consequently, catalytic properties of ex-Ni-POSS catalysts depend on the deposition mode. The increase of a portion of difficultly reduced Ni 2+ species is found upon application of intermediate calcination during Ni-POSS deposition that has detrimental effect on the activity of catalyst in ATR of CH 4 . The Ni/SiO 2 /Ce 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 catalyst prepared by one-step Ni-POSS deposition exhibits the highest H 2 yield -80% at T = 800 °C.

“…In this paper, the applicability of the 70 model is illustrated using an example problem of designing a hydrogen network comprising technologies for generation/conversion, storage and transport. Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier that is expected to be part of the future energy mix [9,10,11]. It can be viewed as an intermediate resource that can be converted to different energy vectors such as electricity, heat, transport fuel etc.…”
