LONDON, 20 March, 2025: The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) today releases The Road Ahead for Hydrogen Powered Mobility, a report exploring strategies to accelerate hydrogen’s role in achieving a low-carbon transport future.
With transportation a major source of global CO₂ emissions, the report highlights how scaling hydrogen adoption through infrastructure expansion, regulatory updates and industry collaboration would help enable decarbonization of the sector. While hydrogen is a promising solution for hard-to-electrify sectors like heavy-duty transport, its success depends on significant investment in distribution networks, alongside clear policies and safety frameworks.
“Hydrogen has the potential to help transform transportation, but realizing its full benefits will require the right infrastructure, clear regulations, and strong industry partnerships. With innovation and commitment, hydrogen can help fuel a cleaner future for mobility worldwide,” said Amy Bason, Deputy Vice President of Strategy & Policy at OGCI.
As the transportation sector strives to meet ambitious net-zero goals, a diverse mix of low-carbon energy sources will be essential. OGCI has looked at a range of solutions which could support this transition. Another recent study, Biomass for Marine 2025, highlights biofuels as a key enabler for decarbonizing shipping, complementing hydrogen’s role in heavy-duty transport.
Through collaboration and innovation, OGCI is committed to driving the development of scalable, sustainable fuel options for a cleaner mobility future.
