ABSTRACT
The article summarizes the types of hydrogen sources and the possibilities of using hydrogen in fuel cell technologies. The types of hydrogen fuel cells and solutions used in hydrogen powered drives were discussed. The current economic and ecological aspects affecting the possibilities and profitability of using various types of hydrogen as an alternative fuel in various forms of transport were analyzed, and forecasts for the development of this form of propulsion and power supply in transport for the coming years were presented. It was concluded that only a simultaneous increase in hydrogen production, through an increase in demand or technological development, combined with a decrease in the cost of hydrogen cells down to a level of at least $40/kW, would enable the proliferation of hydrogen technologies in all modes of transport.
