Hydrogen-fuelled vehicles, while not as technically or commercially mature, offer an alternative for zero emission mobility, and could help to avoid costly upgrades to these networks. • The central concept of a “Dual Fuel Transport Hub” is a refuelling Hub which exploits the potential synergies available between the gas and electricity sectors, using various technologies to manage the capabilities of the gas and electricity networks, whilst meeting demand for zero-emission (electric and/or hydrogen) vehicles. This concept would be most attractive when the Hub provides the following benefits to various stakeholders: – For end users (e.g. vehicle users): o Lower overall costs, compared to the costs associated
