Honda has designed a home fueling station for their Clarity fuel cell vehicle. It connects to a natural gas supply and electricity, and steam reforms the methane to hydrogen. The hydrogen is compressed and stored in a tank ready to be transferred to the vehicle. There are two problems: the Clarity will cost $100,000 in 2015, and the home fueling station will add another $50,000. So, yes, you can fill up with hydrogen at your home but it will be very expensive.

Asemblon’s proposal is to build enough fueling stations in a local area so that you are within 5 miles of a station. Stations will be highlighted on Google Maps so that you can find the closest one to your current position. Hydrogen will be generated at very large, central facilities and carried by truck, pipeline, or rail car to fueling depots. From there, trucks would bring it to your local station. This is by far the most economical model for hydrogen fueling.
