CSIRO finds hydrogen could reduce aviation emissions within 5 years

Green Car Congress

A new report from Australia’s national science agency CSIRO shows that clean hydrogen can significantly reduce aviation emissions with potential benefits seen within five years. This involves the replacement of on-airport ground support equipment, currently running on liquid fuels and batteries, with hydrogen powered fuel cell alternatives.

IEA working paper highlights potential role of natural gas in reducing global road transport CO2

Green Car Congress

The global natural gas vehicle fleet has grown rapidly in the last 10 years, but still represents less than 1% of global transport fuel consumption. In principle, NGVs can also provide a pathway to hydrogen but more research is required to assess how and to which degree this can be accomplished. Click to enlarge.
