n this study, Frost & Sullivan offers a comprehensive exploration of the carbon dioxide (CO2) trail of a hydrogen ICE truck (H2 ICE) by investigating the carbon emission implications, focusing on hydrogen as a prospective fuel for the trucking industry in 3 countries within the European Union—France, Germany, and Spain. The analysis begins with the rationale for considering hydrogen, highlighting its potential to mitigate life cycle emissions in comparison to conventional fuels.
Frost & Sullivan delves into various hydrogen production methods, ranging from gray hydrogen to renewable sources, each carrying distinct carbon footprints. The emphasis is on the CO2 emissions associated with manufacturing H2 ICE vehicles, pinpointing significant contributions from components such as H2 engines and hydrogen storage tanks. Furthermore, the study projects total CO2 emissions throughout truck operations, drawing comparative insights with its battery electric, fuel cell electric truck, and diesel truck counterparts.
The study underscores the urgency of transitioning to cleaner hydrogen production methods and optimizing vehicle manufacturing to achieve substantial CO2 emission reductions in the trucking sector.
The study period is from 2023 to 2030.
