The European Council has approved a proposal that sets ambitious emission reduction targets for the heavy-duty transport sector. These targets essentially mandate a gradual transition away from fossil fuel-powered vehicles, making way for zero-emissions trucks and buses fueled by hydrogen or batteries.
As electric vehicles gain dominance, hydrogen advocates are looking to secure their place in the clean mobility market. Here, we delve into the current landscape, challenges, and hopes for hydrogen mobility in France, especially for light commercial vehicles (LCVs).
Iberdrola is making a bold move to become a global frontrunner in green hydrogen technology. With a portfolio of 60 green hydrogen projects spanning Spain, the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, and the United States, the company is poised to invest a staggering €9 billion by 2030.
A study by the Norddeutscher Reallabor (NRL) highlights the pivotal role of green hydrogen in Germany’s industrial decarbonization efforts. The study estimates the country’s future demand for green hydrogen to reach at least 211 TWh annually as industries transition to climate-friendly technologies.
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a substantial investment of up to $1 billion in the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub (PNW H2). This initiative is part of a broader strategy by the DOE, which is allocating a total of $7 billion in federal funding to establish seven regional clean hydrogen hubs across the country.
Germany plans to fast-track the development of its hydrogen infrastructure as the country strives to pivot to cleaner energy.
The pursuit of cleaner and more sustainable energy sources is a global imperative, and a newly released report by the Hydrogen Council emphasizes the pivotal role of hydrogen in the transition from unabated fossil fuels to clean energy. “Hydrogen in Decarbonized Energy Systems,” co-authored by the global energy advisory firm Baringa, provides profound insights into how hydrogen can revolutionize energy systems worldwide.
The battle against climate change is reaching a critical juncture. To limit global temperature increases to 1.5ºC by 2050, we need innovative solutions, and a recent report by Boston Consulting Group highlights the pivotal role of hydrogen and carbon capture and storage in this quest. However, it’s not just technology we need; it’s a massive financial investment of 13 billion euros.
The United States is making significant strides in its pursuit of a low-carbon hydrogen economy, with a recent report by consultancy Wood Mackenzie highlighting the importance of private investment in achieving the ambitious goals set by the Biden administration.
