In Spain, this sort of vehicle is essentially non-existent, with only 15 registered hydrogen vehicles and a recharging station index that isn’t much better. In comparison to the 150 that the plan envisions for the next 9 years, there is now not a single public hydrogenerator in Spanish territory (there are, however, private hydrogenerators).

The initiatives aim to reduce the environmental effect of heavy sectors including basic material production and processing. These industries are presently responsible for 30% of Belgium’s CO2 emissions. According to Belga News Agency, Energy Minister Tinne Van der Straeten believes hydrogen would be critical in decarbonizing the sector.

Hydrogen Vehicle Systems (HVS), based in Scotland, was awarded a £460,000 Innovate UK government grant by the Department for Transport. As a result of the grant, HVS is collaborating with the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHS GGC), the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) and Foresight Innovations to build the UK’s first purpose-built hydrogen-electric emergency ambulance.
