Whitepaper Shows How Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (H2-ICEVs) Can Boost the Hydrogen Economy

At the end of October, H2Accelerate released a whitepaper on hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles (H2-ICEVs). A promising technology that enables decarbonization of heavy-duty transport while leveraging existing infrastructure.

Some Takeaways of this Whitepaper:

H2-ICEVs Enable Decarbonisation
Hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles enable Europe’s zero-emission transport deployment by leveraging existing manufacturing capacity and supply chains, offering a cost-effective solution.

Driving Infrastructure and Market Confidence
Large-scale adoption of H2-ICEVs can create early hydrogen demand, supporting the rollout of a pan-European refuelling network and unlocking investment in hydrogen infrastructure.

Policy Support Is Critical
Despite qualifying as zero-emission vehicles under EU standards, H2-ICEVs lack equal policy treatment. Harmonised incentives, tax exemptions, and inclusion in funding schemes are essential to scale deployment and ensure a level playing field with other zero-emission technologies.

TotalEnergies is one of the partners of H2Accelerate. TEAL Mobility, our joint venture with Air Liquide, is aiming to build a network of hydrogen refueling stations for heavy-duty vehicles along major European road corridors over the next decade.
