Clean Hydrogen: Outlook for Freight Transport in the United States

Abstract

This paper discusses opportunities for clean hydrogen to decarbonize freight transport in the United States. Clean hydrogen is presented as a complementary solution to electrification and other clean fuels for the road, air, water, and rail freight segments. Each of these segments presents challenges for clean hydrogen, and the issues of each are discussed in detail, with an eye towards representing the complicated landscape of clean hydrogen, electrification, and other clean fuels that could play a role.
