$35 per kilogram-which is three
times more expensive than
gasoline, after being adjusted for
fuel efficiency.
However, if hydrogen retail
costs can be reduced to around
$10 per kilogram, the operational
costs of FCETs could become
comparable to BEVs, making
hydrogen a more competitive
option. Achieving this will require
several critical developments:
* Infrastructure Development:
The development of hydrogen
refueling stations along major
transport corridors is the key.
Hydrogen corridors, currently
UPDATE
being piloted in the U.S. and Europe, will enable
long-haul trucks to refuel efficiently along their
routes. Additionally, the growth of green hydrogen
production, using renewable energy sources like
solar, will ensure that hydrogen remains a
sustainable fuel option. Without optimized and
effective infrastructure, hydrogen's market
penetration will remain limited, and cost
advantages will be diminished. Optimized
infrastructure would reduce the cost of logistics.
* Technological Advancements: Innovations in liquid
hydrogen-powered trucks offer opportunities to
repurpose existing ICE technology for zeroemission
operations, helping reduce the operational
and maintenance costs of FCEVs. This provides
flexibility for industries that may not yet be ready to
fully adopt fuel cells or BEVs, allowing them to
