H2Accelerate, a coalition comprising truck manufacturers like Daimler, Iveco, Volvo, and hydrogen suppliers including Shell, Linde, and TotalEnergies, is advocating for EU assistance in establishing a robust hydrogen trucking ecosystem. The group's latest policy paper addresses the necessity of hydrogen refuelling stations and trucks to enable the industry to meet the EU's Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) CO2 reduction targets by 2030. The European Commission's stringent targets require a 45% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty vehicles compared to 2019 levels. While acknowledging the EU's efforts through policies like the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and funding schemes for alternative fuels infrastructure, H2Accelerate points out the existing uncertainty around the long-term business viability of hydrogen trucking. The consortium stresses the pivotal role of hydrogen in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors, emphasizing the need for investments in renewable fuels. Volvo Group's Niklas Gustafsson highlights hydrogen's importance in decarbonizing long-distance trucking but underlines the current challenges in establishing a profitable business case. Key recommendations include joint funding for hydrogen infrastructure, coordination on geographical spread, and ensuring renewable hydrogen availability through initiatives like the European Hydrogen Bank. The collaboration between H2Accelerate and the European Commission aims to set a clear roadmap towards achieving emission reduction targets by 2030. The group urges swift action in implementing the outlined measures to enable the widespread deployment of hydrogen trucks and supporting infrastructure, crucial for meeting climate goals.
