The Hydrogen Engine Alliance of North America (H2EA-NA) has been established by the University of Michigan and the University of California, Riverside, with the aim of promoting hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines (ICEs) in the United States. This initiative seeks to revitalize interest and investment in hydrogen ICE technology, which has been overshadowed by the rapid development of battery electric and fuel cell vehicles in other countries like Germany, Japan, and China. Despite the potential of hydrogen as a clean-burning fuel for various transport modes, its adoption in the U.S. has been hindered by factors such as infrastructure gaps, high production costs, and limited government support. H2EA-NA argues that hydrogen ICEs provide a complementary pathway to decarbonization, especially in sectors where battery or fuel cell technologies may not meet performance requirements. The alliance emphasizes the potential for ultra-low emissions and plans to showcase the benefits of hydrogen ICE technology at the upcoming 2025 Hydrogen Engine Alliance Conference in Riverside, California. With funding from industry partners, H2EA-NA aims to bridge the gap in infrastructure, policy, and public awareness, paving the way for a more significant role for hydrogen in America’s energy landscape. Despite the challenges ahead, the alliance is determined to promote the advantages of hydrogen ICEs, foster collaboration among various stakeholders, and educate the public about hydrogen's potential as a clean fuel source. By igniting renewed interest in hydrogen technology, H2EA-NA hopes to propel hydrogen ICEs into the mainstream and contribute meaningfully to North America’s hydrogen ecosystem and transportation goals.
