Hydrogen as a renewable road freight transport fuel – a UK case study
Report summary
Governments and industry seeking to address climate change and reduce air pollution are turning their attention to green hydrogen. Specifically, they’re looking to adopt renewable energy sources in the transportation sector. In this insight, we estimate how feasible transitioning all UK freight transport to green hydrogen is and look at the significant challenges – technological, economic and policy – that remain before large-scale adoption can be achieved. This insight is supported via Wood Mackenzie’s proprietary analysis of the cost of green hydrogen production through the electrolysis method.
