Nevertheless , it seems hydrogen is primarily a source of sustainable power for heavy industries , which makes this a very valuable resource for trucking , maritime transport , and commercial aviation .
“ Hydrogen is already being used in the automotive industry with startups like Hopium where the vehicle has an integrated fuel cell system that generates the energy needed to power the vehicle while emitting nothing but water ,” says Nasim . “ The Aerospace industry is also starting to experiment with design and infrastructure around hydrogen for aircraft making it an incredibly exciting time in the industry .”
To put this into perspective , Crotty explains that the industry is poised for a rapid spike in interest from the industry .
“ The green hydrogen market is poised for rapid growth , expanding from under one million tons per year now to hundreds of millions of tons per year by 2050 , according to OPIS analysis ,” says Crotty .
The mobility sector represents a significant opportunity , with hydrogen expected to replace fossil fuels in hard-toabate applications such as heavy transport . Since hydrogen consumption does not emit greenhouse gases , transitioning to hydrogen fuel cells will be key to reaching netzero goals . energydigital . com 41
