Hydrogen plays massive role in UK’s decarbonization efforts, with a significant effort focused on transportation sector.
Here’s an article posted in clyde co that talks about hydrogen’s role in achieving net zero emission in UK transport.
According to the article,
- Hydrogen is gaining importance as an alternative to electric vehicles for achieving Net Zero in the UK.
- The article discusses the development and implementation of hydrogen across the UK’s transport sector.
- It highlights key market drivers and global hydrogen projects contributing to carbon-free transportation.
Hydrogen is playing an increasingly important role in the transportation sector across various countries, with each nation pursuing unique strategies and initiatives. Here are some specific examples of developments in hydrogen transportation in different countries:
Germany
Germany is at the forefront of hydrogen adoption in transportation. Germany is collaborating with African nations like Morocco and Nigeria to establish hydrogen supply chains. Life cycle analyses indicate that hydrogen produced in Africa could have a lower global warming potential compared to domestic production in Germany. A number of public transportation companies in Germany will gradually start to replace diesel buses with hydrogen fuel cell buses. Ruhrban, for instance, plans to introduce hydrogen buses in the near future. The country is also exploring options to transport green hydrogen from Turkey via pipelines.

China
China leads in the deployment of hydrogen technologies, particularly in electrolyzer capacity. The country is also focusing on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, with significant investments in infrastructure to support their adoption. This push is part of China’s broader strategy to reduce emissions and enhance energy security.
United States
The U.S. has made strides in hydrogen policy, particularly with the Inflation Reduction Act, which incentivizes clean hydrogen production. Hydrogen is increasingly being integrated into transportation, especially in heavy-duty vehicles and public transit systems. The existing hydrogen pipeline infrastructure supports the distribution of hydrogen to various industrial users, indicating a growing recognition of its potential.
