According to the International Energy Agency, the transport sector accounts for approximately 23% of global CO2 emissions, a figure likely to grow 20% by 2050. To achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement and limit global warming to a 2°C increase, the sector’s CO2 emissions must fall by 90% by 2050.
Hydrogen is a low-carbon alternative energy that can significantly reduce transport-related air pollution. Its sole byproduct is water. It limits pollutants and CO2 emissions, and allows for silent, rapid refuelling, making it suitable for long-distance trips. Hydrogen powers fuel-cell vehicles, now in use in a growing number of sectors. It also has advantages for heavy and light mobility, captive fleets such as taxis, maritime transport and railways.
