The Hydrogen Advantage: Future of Mobility

When you stop learning and refrain from asking new questions, you don’t know where you are headed in life. For instance, so far, we only know the power of batteries, but do you know that hydrogen technology plays a crucial role in energy supply for transportation? It has alternative potential in the fields of logistics and the development of e-fuels. However, hydrogen here provides a basis for an advanced energy transition.

Research institutions like Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences aim to explore the potential and limitations of this technology. According to this research, the hydrogen economy plays a significant role in achieving a greener energy supply.

The technical feasibility of hydrogen as a molecular energy is ideal for decentralised production, storage, and usage. Nevertheless, its marketability and competitiveness need further testing, just like establishing an infrastructure for this energy source.

Hydrogen in logistics and mobility

Logistics plays a key role in a sustainable economy. The ‘Hydrogen in Logistics and Mobility’ sub-study researches the latest trends in the mobility sector. The instance of trucks states that despite being equipped with a battery, their performance degrades, which increases with charging times and therefore decreases the overall productivity. Alternatively, hydrogen can be refuelled without generating CO2 emissions.

The acceptance here is crucial, as employee feedback is immensely positive. The hydrogen-powered truck shows outstanding work and is comparable to the battery-operated truck. Moreover, the operating time was sufficient for the driver’s daily working hours.

Why is Hydrogen the best option for the future of transportation?
