Hydrogen Fleet in South Korea: Push to deploy 40,000 fuel-cell buses by 2040

Hydrogen Fleet in South Korea: Push to deploy 40,000 fuel-cell buses by 2040

December 14, 2022 |

The Government of South Korea announced in November 2022 that it would boost its hydrogen industry by creating large-scale domestic demand, developing relevant infrastructure, and establishing a global supply chain. Initially, the government will focus on hydrogen vehicles. It aims to raise its supply of high-mobility vehicles, such as hydrogen buses and trucks, with the goal of deploying 30,000 hydrogen commercial vehicles and building 70 liquid hydrogen refuelling stations in the country by 2030.

Assessing EU plans to import hydrogen from North Africa

Assessing EU plans to import hydrogen from North Africa

May 18, 2022 | , ,

Hydrogen is expensive to distribute via shipping and pipeline, which is why today the large majority of it is manufactured at the point of consumption. Realistically, is Europe going to be willing to pay that very significant price difference? North African governments and firms should therefore be wary of promises of large export markets for expensive to manufacture and ship green hydrogen, and the synthetic fuels made from it.

ZEBs and related infrastructure: Germany’s attempts to reduce GhG emissions from public transport

ZEBs and related infrastructure: Germany’s attempts to reduce GhG emissions from public transport

February 16, 2022 |

Around 80,000 buses are currently registered in Germany, of which 40,000–55,000 are deployed in the public transport sector. The majority of the buses are still powered by diesel engines. In order to achieve the climate targets of both Germany and Europe, the fleet emission and minimum procurement targets have been tightened at the national and European levels. As per the Clean Vehicle Directive, by 2025, 45 per cent of new purchases must be ‘clean vehicles’, and half of them (22.5 per cent) should be emission-free.

Hydrogen on top of the agenda for decarbonizing future energy supply

Hydrogen on top of the agenda for decarbonizing future energy supply

February 12, 2021 | ,

Current forecasts anticipate that demand for hydrogen will continue to steadily increase towards 2050. With so many sectors considering hydrogen as a zero-emission energy carrier or fuel, steady demand from existing off-takers will be augmented by the rise in demand from customers in new sectors. Current data suggest that global hydrogen demand will require additional generation of 35-1,100 TWh per year by 2030, increasing to 300-19,000 TWh per year by 2050.
