“Hydrogen (H2) fuel cells plus electric-vehicle technology offer a viable path to zero-emission transport” is the message from the Hydrogen for Clean Transport conference which was held last week to discuss and debate H2-based solutions towards a zero-emission transport sector in Europe by 2040.

The conference, sponsored by the Fuel Cells & Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) and flagship H2 projects HyFIVE and H2ME, is a first for Europe’s transport industry.
