Leadership Panel: The Role of Hydrogen in Decarbonizing Hard-to-Electrify Mobility Sectors

The Role of Hydrogen in Decarbonizing Hard-to-Electrify Mobility Sectors

Hydrogen demand in road transport has increased 60% since 2020 and is poised to expand rapidly over the next decade. Advances made in hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) offer an alternative towards electrifying the road transport sector. However, an expensive supply chain and related technologies are delaying implementation. Owning and driving a hydrogen powered fuel cell will cost at least two to three times more than one powered by fossil fuels. How can policymakers help fast track adoption of hydrogen and FCEV in road transportation? What needs to be done to build a robust hydrogen supply chain for the mobility sector?

Attendee insights: Hydrogen adoption in the mobility sector is imperative to meet net-zero goals. Hear from mobility leaders and hydrogen producers on the way forward for successful deployment of hydrogen in the industry.
