By the end of 2024, the global network of hydrogen refuelling stations reached 1160, with Asia leading at 748 stations. New Zealand, while small, is making progress with 8 stations, 3 operational. Expansion plans face challenges like cost and demand. Despite global growth, the hydrogen infrastructure is still sparse. New Zealand's network reflects a broader push for sustainable transport but remains limited. The future of hydrogen in the country depends on significant investment for nationwide viability. Hydrogen's role is likely in heavy-duty applications, not passenger transport. Toyota New Zealand leads local efforts, but global players like BMW and Hyundai are also involved. The current low number of stations raises uncertainty about hydrogen's strong foothold in transport.
