Clean Hydrogen for Road Transport in Developing Countries

This report explores the role of clean hydrogen in the global energy transition, highlighting its potential to decarbonise sectors like steel, cement, and chemicals. It focuses on green hydrogen (from renewables) and blue hydrogen (from natural gas with carbon capture), noting their benefits for energy security and economic growth, especially in developing countries. The report also assesses the economic viability of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in Brazil, Chile, India, South Africa, and South Korea, comparing them with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) across four vehicle types: passenger cars, LCVs, buses, and HDVs.
