The potential of hydrogen engines in revolutionizing heavy transport and industrial sectors is highlighted by experts at TNO. As identified by Senior Research Scientist Xander Seykens, hydrogen plays a pivotal role in achieving emission targets, especially when electric options fall short in meeting the demand. The technology offers clean emissions, comparable to electric solutions, and is considered a key player in making logistics CO₂-neutral. Despite the negative perception associated with combustion engines, hydrogen engine technology stands out for its environmental friendliness. TNO's Business Developer Jack Bloem emphasizes the cleanliness of hydrogen engines, debunking the misconception that combustion engines are inherently polluting. The hydrogen engine's versatility is showcased in its adaptability for both petrol and diesel engine concepts, offering sustainable alternatives for heavy transport. With a focus on High-Pressure Direct Injection (HPDI), TNO is advancing the efficiency and performance of hydrogen combustion in diesel engines, particularly targeting heavy freight transport. This innovative approach minimizes technical modifications to existing truck powertrains, making it a promising solution for the industry. The advantages of hydrogen engines extend beyond emissions reduction to operational benefits. The technology allows for easy conversion of existing engines, making it suitable for long-term applications like marine vessels. Additionally, TNO's research efforts aim to eliminate the need for diesel in hydrogen combustion, showcasing a commitment to sustainable fuel solutions. As the push for sustainable transportation grows, hydrogen engines emerge as a key player in achieving climate goals and revolutionizing heavy transport sectors.
