Hydrogen in the transport sector

Hydrogen refuelling station

Hydrogen cars vs. battery cars

  • Faster-fueling, much higher-performance vehicle long-term
  • Fueling up with H2  àsimilar to filling up with gasoline (H2 combusts with  one-tenth the energy required for gasoline)
  • Challenge à infrastructure: thousands of electric-vehicle charging stations
  • Toyota, Hyundai, and Honda coming out with hydrogen vehicles

Criticism

  • Time frame for overcoming the technical and economic challenges for wide-scale use of hydrogen cars is likely to last for several decades”
  • “Hydrogen car is a detour from more readily available solutions”
  • "A hydrogen car is one of the least efficient, most expensive ways to reduce greenhouse gases."
