Hydrogen and Fuel-Cell Supply Chains: Procurement Questions for Automotive and Industrial Programmes
Fuel-cell and hydrogen sourcing requires separate diligence on stack materials, balance-of-plant equipment, manufacturing capability, fuel and infrastructure, and offtake assumptions. One projected capacity figure cannot answer all of them.
Separate the system, fuel and infrastructure questions before sourcing.
Public data is split across hydrogen production, electrolysers and fuel cells. Procurement teams need to document which system, geography, technology maturity and fuel pathway their programme actually depends on.
