Unlocking clean hydrogen mobility: A strategic guide
In this illuminem article, HCP Associate Nicola De Blasio writes about the potential for clean hydrogen in transport decarbonization
The global transition to a low-carbon economy requires the large-scale deployment of clean energy technologies, fundamentally reshaping value chains and stakeholder dynamics. Among these technologies, hydrogen—long integral to the energy and chemical industries—is emerging as a key enabler of deep decarbonisation. Clean hydrogen offers a viable solution for reducing emissions in hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, cement, aviation, shipping, rail, and long-haul road transport, where electrification remains technically or economically challenging.
However, unlocking hydrogen’s full potential requires more than recognising its environmental promise. It calls for a coordinated redefinition of roles across the public and private sectors and aligning industrial strategies around a shared vision. Success hinges on a comprehensive approach integrating economic viability, supportive policies, technological innovation, and robust safety standards.
