Strategies for Green Hydrogen in Transportation:

 Strategies for Green Hydrogen in Transportation:

🔴 Hydrogen Market Growth: Expected to reach $320 billion by 2030, with a strong push in transportation.

🔴 Fuel Cell Vehicle Expansion: Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) to hit 1.3 million units by 2030, revolutionizing mobility.

🔴 LCOH Reduction Target: Current $5-$7/kg, aiming for below $2/kg by 2030 through scaling and efficiency improvements.

🔴 Electrolyzer Advancements:

📍 PEM: 70-80% efficiency, compact, high cost

📍 Alkaline: 60-70% efficiency, mature, lower cost

📍 AEM: 75-85% efficiency, emerging, no iridium

🔴 Hydrogen as a Maritime & Aviation Fuel:

📍 SOFCs for ships & aircraft

📍 Hydrogen-based synthetic fuels & ammonia to replace fossil fuels

🔴 Infrastructure Growth: Over 1,000+ hydrogen refueling stations globally, with Japan, the U.S., and Germany leading.

🔴 Hydrogen Policy Support:

📍 EU: 40 GW electrolyzer target, $12B investment

📍 USA: $8B hydrogen hub funding

📍 India: National Green Hydrogen Mission ($2.5B investment)

📍 China: 1M FCEVs targeted by 2035

🔴 Heavy-Duty & Freight Applications: Hydrogen-powered trucks, trains, and cargo ships to drive early adoption.

🔴 Hydrogen Corridors: Developing dedicated hydrogen refueling networks along major highways and shipping lanes.

🔴 Cost Reduction Strategies:

📍 Large-scale electrolyzer production

📍 Hybrid hydrogen-battery systems for efficiency

📍 Pipeline repurposing for hydrogen distribution

🔴 Hydrogen-Powered Cities: Hydrogen hubs emerging in ports, airports, and industrial zones for energy security.

🔴 Future Vision: By 2040-2050, hydrogen will be a mainstream fuel, decarbonizing global transport for a net-zero future.
