Report: Shipping energy mix needs 70% green hydrogen-based fuels by 2050

The International Renewable Energy Agency released a report that green hydrogen-based fuels will be necessary to decarbonize shipping.

As an industry that moves 80% to 90% of the world’s traded goods and contributes to 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, shipping has a lot of work to do to reduce emissions enough  to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

To reach this target, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) said in a report released Wednesday that 70% of the shipping industry’s energy mix needs to be green hydrogen-based fuels by 2050.

This fuel shift would reduce emissions by 80% compared to...

California regulators predict 100 hydrogen fueling stations by 2023

The California Air Resources Board released a report on the state of hydrogen fueling stations in California.

California is leading the way on hydrogen fueling stations in the U.S. The state is expected to have capacity to fuel 250,000 fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) at 1,764 open-retail hydrogen fueling stations by 2026, according to a recent California Air Resources Board (CARB) report

The first 100 of those stations have potential to be operational by the end of 2023, the report said. Currently, CARB data says California has nearly 8,000 FCEVs on the road and 48 hydrogen stations that are open...
