Anglo American Launches H2 Moves Europe to Drive Adoption of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles
Key Ideas
- Anglo American, alongside partners, launches H2 Moves Europe to promote hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) technology in Europe.
- The initiative aims to showcase the benefits of FCEVs, accelerate market demand, and support the viability of South Africa's green hydrogen economy.
- Collaboration with Hype will deploy 250 FCEVs in Paris and 50 in Brussels, contributing to clean transport initiatives and expanding market reach.
- Anglo's support for FCEV technology aligns with efforts to reduce carbon emissions, promote hydrogen-powered transport, and address challenges in battery mineral supply chains.
Anglo American, a key participant in South Africa's Hydrogen Valley project, has introduced a new initiative called H2 Moves Europe in collaboration with partners Engie and Bambili Energy. The project aims to boost awareness and adoption of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) technology in Europe. With Japan being a major collaborator in South Africa's hydrogen economy, the focus now shifts to Europe as the primary driver of hydrogen demand. Building on the success of the H2 Moves Berlin pilot, which facilitated 500,000 passenger journeys in FCEV taxis, H2 Moves Europe seeks to showcase the advantages of FCEV technology to a broader audience. Collaboration with Hype, a prominent FCEV taxi operator, will see the deployment of 250 FCEVs in Paris and 50 in Brussels, featuring models from Peugeot, Citroën, Toyota, and Hyundai. This initiative is part of Anglo's efforts to support clean transport ecosystems and promote the role of FCEVs in decarbonizing the transport sector. By leveraging its expertise in platinum production, an essential component of fuel cells, Anglo is actively advancing the hydrogen-powered transport ecosystem. The launch of H2 Moves Europe marks a pivotal moment in accelerating FCEV adoption, aligning with the EU's focus on alternative fuels infrastructure and sustainable transportation.
