This Frost & Sullivan report examines the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of fuel cell electric trucks (FCETs), focusing on hydrogen as a fuel option for the trucking industry in Europe, specifically Germany, France, and Spain. The report analyzes the potential of hydrogen to mitigate life cycle emissions compared to conventional fuels. It explores different methods for producing hydrogen, from grey hydrogen to renewable sources, each with its own carbon footprint. It highlights the CO2 emissions related to the production of fuel cell vehicles, especially from parts like fuel cell stacks and hydrogen storage tanks. The report also compares the total CO2 emissions of FCETs during operation with those of battery electric and diesel trucks. It stresses the need for cleaner hydrogen production methods and improved vehicle manufacturing processes to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in the trucking sector. The report concludes by identifying the opportunities emerging from this space for market players and stakeholders to leverage.
