Both battery electric and fuel cell electric vehicles are seen as viable emission-free options for heavy-duty trucking, but each have their own unique use-cases where they perform best. So, when exactly does it make sense to choose hydrogen and when does a battery do the trick?

Comparing Carbon Intensity & the Hydrogen Color Wheel The colors associated with hydrogen production, known as the hydrogen color spectrum or color wheel, try to convey information on the environmental impact of the production process.

While the color spectrum is easy to understand, it is too simplistic and can mislead people about the real environmental implications of hydrogen production.

You may have heard the term 'carbon intensity', used to describe the environmental impact of a producing a fuel. But what exactly does it mean, and how does it relate to hydrogen?

Pure hydrogen fuel is key to a zero-emissions world. It does, however, need to be extracted from other elements, such as oxygen or carbon, as it doesn’t exist naturally on its own. There are various methods to produce hydrogen, some cleaner than others. This is where carbon intensity comes in.

Diesel is powering and polluting the transportation industry. The transition to #hydrogen energy is a big challenge that requires leaders in fuel cell technology to continue innovating, expanding, and bringing down costs. Practical applications are possible today, using a localized approach to achieve big changes.
