A Transformative Opportunity
Hydrogen presents a transformative opportunity for the transport sector, offering a clean and sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Hydrogen fuel cells power electric vehicles (FCEVs) with zero-emission profiles, eliminating harmful pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional combustion engines. Notably, FCEVs address the limitations of battery-electric vehicles by providing rapid refueling times and extended ranges, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including passenger cars, buses, trucks, and even aviation and maritime vessels.
A key component of sustainable mobility in many Countries
With increasing investments in hydrogen infrastructure and technology development in Europe, USA, Canada, Japan and other Countries, the transport industry is embracing hydrogen as a key component of sustainable mobility strategies, driving innovation and accelerating the transition towards zero-emission transportation solutions.
Hydrogen as Fuel

Hydrogen is being embraced as a fuel source in various countries, with initiatives ranging from hydrogen-powered vehicles and buses to hydrogen blending in natural gas pipelines for heating and industrial applications. Countries like Japan, South Korea, Germany, and the United States are leading the way in hydrogen adoption, investing in infrastructure and incentives to spur market growth.
Hydrogen fuel is a promising and clean alternative to traditional fossil fuels. In the transport sector, hydrogen fuel cells power vehicles by converting stored hydrogen into electricity, emitting only water vapor and heat as byproducts. This technology offers several benefits, including zero emissions, rapid refueling times, and long driving ranges, making it an attractive option for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change.

Despite its potential for many applications and sectors, challenges remain in terms of infrastructure development and the cost-effectiveness of production and distribution of Hydrogen. Nevertheless, advancements in technology and growing interest in sustainable transportation solutions are driving the expansion of the hydrogen fuel sector, with increasing investment and research efforts aimed at scaling up production and improving efficiency.
Hydrogen is a Clean and Sustainable Fuel

Hydrogen fuel is generally considered a sustainable fuel when produced using renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, or hydropower to power the electrolysis process that separates hydrogen from water. When produced in this manner, often referred to as “green hydrogen” the entire lifecycle of hydrogen fuel (from production to end-use) results in minimal greenhouse gas emissions, making it a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
Additionally, hydrogen fuel emits only water vapor and heat when used in fuel cells to generate electricity, further contributing to its reputation as a sustainable fuel. However, it’s important to note that the sustainability of hydrogen fuel depends on the methods used for its production and the environmental impact of its entire supply chain.
Green Hydrogen – How is it Produced

Source
Green hydrogen is produced through a process called electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through water (H2O), splitting it into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). This electricity is typically generated from renewable sources such as wind, solar, or hydroelectric power. Since the entire process is powered by renewable energy, green hydrogen production emits no greenhouse gases, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel option for various applications.

Hydrogen Supply Chain

The hydrogen supply chain encompasses a complex network of production, storage, transportation, and distribution systems aimed at delivering this versatile energy carrier to end-users. Hydrogen is primarily produced through various methods, including steam methane reforming, electrolysis of water, and gasification of biomass, each with its own set of advantages and challenges. Once produced, hydrogen must be stored efficiently, typically in compressed gas or liquid form, before being transported to end-users via pipelines, trucks, or ships.
Infrastructure development for hydrogen transportation is still in its early stages, with challenges such as ensuring safety, reducing leakage, and minimizing energy losses during transit. At the distribution stage, hydrogen is delivered to a diverse range of applications, including transportation, industrial processes, and power generation. As the demand for clean energy continues to grow, efforts to optimize and expand the hydrogen supply chain are accelerating, driven by technological advancements, policy incentives, and the urgent need to combat climate change.
