Hydrogen as a fuel – Shell’s view on providing hydrogen for heavy-duty mobility applications

Hydrogen and fuel-cell technologies have significant potential to enable the transition to a clean and low-carbon energy system. Hydrogen is a clean and versatile energy carrier that can be used as a fuel for power, transport, and in industry as feedstock. Viewing hydrogen for heavy duty applications in context of the overall fuels landscape, in particular passenger car applications, this paper analyses the needs for heavy duty infrastructure and the remaining development needs. Questions of energy import, distribution and dispensing to the customer are analysed, particularly the differences in liquid and pipeline transport.
