Transition of heavy‐duty trucks from diesel to hydrogen fuel cells: Opportunities, challenges, and recommendations

Abstract: Summary Fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies have been investigated by academia, industry, and government to reduce air pollution and mitigate global warming. The transition of heavy‐duty trucks (HDTs) from diesel to hydrogen fuel cells (HFCs) could maintain the contribution of HDTs to freight transport at nearly zero carbon dioxide emission. This paper analyzes and discusses the opportunities and challenges of this transition and presents recommendations. The opportunities include the global need for HD… Show more

“…1−3 Recently, the focus of PEMFC has shifted from lightduty vehicle (LDV) to heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) applications, as the latter has a less demanding hydrogen refueling infrastructure and a more significant impact on mitigating CO 2 and other emissions. 4,5 Compared to battery-powered HDVs, the fuel cell stack or hydrogen tank can be increased with a much lower weight/volume penalty to meet the power and energy density targets. 6 The shift to HDVs requires a much longer operation lifetime than their passenger vehicle counterparts, with more than one million miles operating targets, or equivalent to 25,000 h operation.…”

“…Hydrogen proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), featured with high energy efficiency, zero-emission, and short fueling time, have been identified as an utmost solution to replace conventional internal combustion engines for vehicles. Recently, the focus of PEMFC has shifted from light-duty vehicle (LDV) to heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) applications, as the latter has a less demanding hydrogen refueling infrastructure and a more significant impact on mitigating CO 2 and other emissions. , Compared to battery-powered HDVs, the fuel cell stack or hydrogen tank can be increased with a much lower weight/volume penalty to meet the power and energy density targets …”

“…In particular, the European target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 involves a policy towards hydrogen supported electrification. Because of the limited energy density of batteries (Yazawa & Shakouri, 2021), the use of hydrogen may become indispensable, in particular for long haul transportation, such as trucks, buses (Li, Djilali, et al, 2022), or aircraft (Verstraete, 2015), which can rely on fuel cells or internal combustion engines to convert chemical power to useful power. Also, the incentive of governments to emit less greenhouse gases and become less dependent on fossil fuels for grid electricity generation, contributes to a substantial growth in wind and solar energy production (Androniceanu & Sabie, 2022).…”

“…Hydrogen is a clean energy carrier that has good application prospects in clean combustion, fuel cells, and other aspects. [1][2][3] The wide application of hydrogen is expected to alleviate the greenhouse effect and meet future energy demands. [4][5][6] Nuclear energy enables large-scale hydrogen production with essentially zero carbon emissions; thus, nuclear hydrogen production is considered indispensable for sustainable hydrogen supplies.…”
