International experience of innovation management in hydrogen transportation

The development of hydrogen energy for Russia is one of the most promising ways to maintain a leading position in the world energy markets in a situation of decreasing demand for basic hydrocarbons. This paper analyzes the level of development of hydrogen energy technology in the transport sector, as well as the experience of managing innovation in this area, which makes it possible to successfully overcome infrastructure, financial, regulatory and other barriers to the development of these technologies. The methodological basis of the analysis is the theory of learning curves (learning-by-doing) and the theory of economies of scale. As a result of studying the world experience in reducing the cost barriers to the introduction of hydrogen energy technologies in land and sea transport, conclusions are drawn about the most commercially attractive ways to synchronize the development of the vehicle fleet and charging infrastructure

Keywords: hydrogen energy, innovation, fuel cells, land transport, maritime transport
