Report summary
Germany is investing heavily in hydrogen mobility and the associated infrastructure. Together with other industry players, leading fuel companies were the buyers of this choice and established almost a hundred refuelling stations by the end of 2021. Although we anticipate that hydrogen will remain a niche product over our forecast period, it will take a prominent role in decarbonising the heavy trucking segment. Companies acting now would be able to build up the necessary infrastructure while European taxpayers bear the majority of the risks.
