WORKSHOP
“Hydrogen for Mobility and Transport”
We bring together leading academic scientists and researchers!
November 5th, 2026 1pm - 5pm
Scope of the event
Decarbonising the transport sector requires a portfolio of solutions tailored to different use cases, operating profiles, and infrastructure constraints. Green hydrogen plays a particularly important role in transport segments where high energy density, fast refuelling, and long operational range are essential. This sub-workshop explores hydrogen applications across heavy-duty road transport, rail, maritime shipping, and aviation, with a focus on technical feasibility, infrastructure requirements, and market uptake.
The workshop examines fuel cell system performance, vehicle integration challenges, refuelling infrastructure design, and the interplay between hydrogen mobility and alternative low-carbon solutions such as battery-electric systems and synthetic fuels. Academic contributions provide system-level analysis and comparative assessments, while industry speakers share insights from vehicle manufacturing, infrastructure deployment, and fleet operation. The session aims to identify transport segments where hydrogen offers the strongest value proposition and to define realistic rollout pathways.
