A hydrogen station is a storage or filling station for hydrogen, usually located along a highway or hydrogen highway, or at home as part of a distributed generation resource concept. The station is usually intended to drive a hydrogen vehicle, but it can also be used to power a small device. Vehicles use hydrogen as a fuel in one of several ways, including fuel cells and mixed fuels such as HCNG. Hydrogen fuel dispensers dump fuel with kilograms.

Asia
- Japan
- Japan has a number of hydrogen filling stations under the JHFC project from 2002 to 2010 to test various hydrogen generation technologies. By the end of 2012 there are 17 hydrogen stations, 19 new stations are expected to be installed by 2015. The government hopes to add up to 100 hydrogen stations under the budget of 460 million dollars covering 50% of the cost of installation with the latter operating by 2015. JX Energy expects to install 40 stations by 2015. and another 60 in the 2016-2018 period Toho Gas and Iwatani Corp are hoping to install 20 additional stations. Toyota Tsusho and Air Liquide create a joint venture to build 2 hydrogen stations to be ready by 2015. Osaka Gas is planning 2 stations for 2014-2015. A "task force" led by Yuriko Koike, a former environment minister of Japan, and supported by the country's Liberal Democrat Party was formed to guide the process.
- South Korea
- South Korea has 11 hydrogen stations operating in 2014, another 10 stations are planned for 2020.
Europe
The hydrogen highway is a chain of filling stations equipped with hydrogen and other infrastructure along the road or highway. Italy and Germany are collaborating to build a hydrogen highway between Mantua in northern Italy and Munich in southern Germany. Italy completed construction of a hydrogen filling station in Mantua on 21 September 2007 (see Zero Regio).

Cost
Since the turn of the millennium, petrol stations that offer hydrogen have been opened around the world. However, this did not begin to replace the existing gas station refueling infrastructure, which in the US alone amounted to 168,000 retail outlets in 2004, with revenues for 2014 of US $ 536 billion. According to Joseph Romm in 2004, this replacement would cost half a trillion dollars. The cost of Europe's required hydrogen fueling infrastructure could be five times lower than the charging network charges required for batteries and plug-in hybrid vehicles. When viewed as a cost per station, EV stations are cheaper than $ 3 million per hydrogen station.
Hydrogen home station
Hydrogen home stations are present in various types.
- A home hydrogen electrolysing station for solar water, made of solar cells, power converters, water purifiers, electrolyters, piping, hydrogen cleaners, oxygen cleaners, compressors, pressure vessels and hydrogen outlets.
- A more complete home station will incorporate a solar home system on an inlet with natural gas and a reformer and from a storage tank to a fuel cell microchp system to generate heat and electricity for the home and excess electricity to the network being part of a distributed power plant.
- An integrated system that transforms photoelectrochemically solar energy is more efficient than breaking water.
- January 2007 - [CSIRO] Australia has developed hydrogen homacy based on electricity from standard roof solar panels or home wind turbines with electrolysis including compression and ready-to-use storage, file cabinet size, expected market price would be $ 500 according to Sukhvinder Badwal. Extensive testing of the system will take place over the next 2 years at RMIT University in Melbourne.
- Home Diesel Station IV Honda is in the testing phase.
- Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies HydroFILL is a hydrogen station intended to power small devices.
- The fuel cell charger is another hydrogen station for turning on moving equipment
- ITM Power Green-box is a personal hydrogen station intended for fueling vehicles
- The home generator Acta EL100 is another hydrogen generator that can be used to build a hydrogen station.
- Daniel Nocera also works on a private hydrogen station
- Nico Hotz also works at a private hydrogen station; bio methanol is used to improve the efficiency of solar panels.
- The Hopewell Project is a great pilot homestation by Michael Strizki.
- The Chewonki Renewable Hydrogen Project was opened on August 28, 2006 in Wiscasset, Maine.
- The Stuart Island Energy Initiative.
