United States Assessment of CO2 Emissions Life Cycle in the Fuel Cell Electric Truck Sector 2024: Investigating the Carbon Emission Implications of FCETs, Particularly with Focus on Hydrogen – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Assessment of CO2 Emissions Life Cycle in the Fuel Cell Electric Truck Sector, United States” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

This study underscores the urgency of transitioning to cleaner hydrogen production methods and optimizing vehicle manufacturing to achieve substantial CO2 emission reductions in the trucking sector.

In this study, the publisher offers a comprehensive exploration of the carbon dioxide (CO2) trail of a fuel cell electric truck (FCET) by investigating the carbon emission implications of FCETs, particularly with focus on hydrogen as a prospective fuel for the trucking industry in the United States. Our analysis begins with the rationale for considering hydrogen, highlighting its potential to mitigate life cycle emissions as compared to conventional fuels.

We delve into various hydrogen production methods, ranging from grey hydrogen to renewable sources, each carrying distinct carbon footprints. Emphasis falls on the CO2 emissions associated with manufacturing fuel cell vehicles, pinpointing significant contributions from components including fuel cell stacks and hydrogen storage tanks. Furthermore, we project total CO2 emissions throughout the operation of a truck, drawing comparative insights with its battery electric and diesel truck counterparts.
