The transportation industry is under pressure to decarbonize. Regulatory changes and customer demand are pushing for a rapid transition to clean energy carriers, and hydrogen is crucial in making this happen.

Around 90% of traded goods are transported by ship, amounting to 2.6% of emissions worldwide, according to the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet decarbonization goals in heavy industries, hydrogen can be used as a zero-emission fuel on construction sites and for other off-highway vehicles.

Since 1975, the demand for hydrogen used in industrial purposes has increased more than threefold, and the global demand continues to rise.

To produce green hydrogen, renewable electricity and water are used in an electrolysis process. Oxygen and heat are by-products of this process.

Hydrogen plays a crucial part in enabling zero emissions in the transport sector. To succeed with cutting all emissions from personal cars, buses and heavy road trucks you need zero emission solutions that can take over where batteries and charging infrastructure come short. Hydrogen is that solution.

What is a fuel cell and how does it work? Read more in this article, written by our fuel cell specialist Dr. Kaushik Jayasayee.

Hydrogen is used in the industry sector as a feedstock, for off-grid power generation, and to provide intermediate to high-temperature heat for various processes. According to the Hydrogen Council*, more than 90% of the hydrogen currently produced globally is used as feedstocks in the oil industry and to produce ammonia and methanol.
