As countries around the world accelerate efforts to combat climate change, decarbonizing shipping and transport remains a key challenge. This is particularly the case for applications where electrification at scale is not always technically or economically feasible, such as aviation, marine shipping, and long-distance heavy-haul trucking. These sectors combined represent approximately 10% of global CO2 emissions.
Carbon-neutral eFuels derived from green hydrogen will play an important role in decarbonizing the shipping and transport sectors by reducing their reliance on traditional fossil fuels.
In this article, we look at the potential of hydrogen-based eFuels and discuss how Hitachi Energy is supporting large-scale green hydrogen production with its integrated Grid-to-Stack approach.
