TECH FOCUS: HYDROGEN
AND ALTERNATIVE FUELS
Hydrogen: A vital partner
in clean mobility
Looking ahead, hydrogen has
the potential to revolutionize not
only the long-haul trucking
industry, but also other sectors
like marine, aviation, and rail. As
hydrogen infrastructure expands
and technology costs decrease,
hydrogen-powered vehicles will
become more accessible and
competitive. Integrating
hydrogen with renewable energy
sources will further reduce the
carbon footprint of the
transportation sector, advancing
global progress toward climate
goals.
While the future of hydrogenpowered
transportation
depends on continued
investments and government
policy support for better
infrastructure, hydrogen is wellpositioned
to play a central role
in the decarbonization of
transportation to achieve
sustainable future. As a
technical project manager at
CALSTART under the Tech and
Demo Team, I and other industry
experts are actively involved in
projects focused on analyzing
the techno-economic feasibility
of liquid hydrogen as a fuel for
Class 8 trucks to help combat
climate change. Our work
involves detailed assessments of

both the feasibility and economic scalability of
integrating onboard liquid hydrogen systems and the
associated infrastructure required for large-scale
deployment. This includes evaluating key factors
such as hydrogen truck production, liquid storage,
and dispensing to determine the overall viability of
liquid hydrogen as a sustainable alternative to diesel
in long-haul trucking. By collaborating with industry
leaders and stakeholders, our team is at the forefront
of developing innovative solutions to transition the
transportation sector toward zero-emission
technologies, ensuring the economic and
environmental sustainability of future transportation
networks.n
