Extreme H: Exploring the Limits of Hydrogen in Racing
Key Ideas
  • Alejandro Agag, founder of Formula E, is launching Extreme H, a hydrogen fuel cell-only racing series set for a 2025 debut in multiple countries.
  • The Extreme H series will feature the Pioneer 25 racing car with a hydrogen Symbio fuel cell, showcasing the capabilities of fuel cell technology in motorsports.
  • The focus of Extreme H is not on mass-market fuel cell cars yet, but on demonstrating the potential of zero-emission fuel cells in heavy-duty vehicles and racing.
  • The green hydrogen supply chain needs to evolve to support the widespread adoption of hydrogen fuel cells in various applications beyond motorsports.
Formula E racing, known for testing the limits of battery-electric vehicles, is now expanding into hydrogen fuel cell technology with the upcoming Extreme H series set to launch in 2025 across multiple countries. Alejandro Agag, the creator of Formula E, is leading this initiative to showcase the potential of fuel cells in motorsports. The new racing series will introduce the Pioneer 25 racing car, featuring a hydrogen Symbio fuel cell capable of impressive performance metrics. While Extreme H aims to carve a niche for zero-emission fuel cells in the motorsports sector and highlight the viability of the technology, the focus is currently on heavy-duty vehicles rather than mass-market consumer cars. The green hydrogen supply chain needs significant development to support the widespread use of fuel cells, as the current market relies heavily on natural gas and coal. By introducing hydrogen fuel cells in racing, Extreme H is playing a role in the transition to a low-carbon model for motorsports, showcasing the capabilities of fuel cells in high-performance applications.
