Paving the way to a green hydrogen future

While green hydrogen has the potential to help decarbonise road transportation, it’s currently at an impasse.

Because there are so few hydrogen filling stations, there aren’t many hydrogen-powered vehicles in use. But until there are more hydrogen-powered cars on the road, there’s little incentive to open new hydrogen filling stations. Resolving this catch-22 is the LIFE NEW HYTS project, demonstrating the feasibility of producing, distributing and using green hydrogen locally in Utrecht, the Netherlands. It aims to model the supply and demand conditions needed for the rapid uptake of green hydrogen fuelled heavy-duty vehicles.
