This paper investigates the economic competitiveness of hydrogen-powered trucks. It reviews the growing number of papers that provide an estimate of the total cost of ownership (TCO) of hydrogen-powered trucks relative to their diesel equivalents. It examines the methodology applied, the variables considered, the data used for estimation, and the results obtained. All reviewed studies conclude that hydrogen-powered trucks are not currently cost-competitive, while they might become competitive after 2030. The conclusion holds across truck types and sizes, hydrogen pathways, mission profiles, and countries. However, we find that there is still a huge area of uncertainty regarding the purchase price of hydrogen-powered trucks and the cost of hydrogen, which hampers the reliability of the results obtained. Various areas of methodological improvements are suggested.

“…The environmental impacts associated with hydrogen utilization for port logistic activities demonstrated that a significant reduction in greenhouse gases could be achieved through the use of green H 2 when compared with conventional diesel-based logistics (Mio et al, 2023). Gürbüz et al (2021) investigated the impact of euro diesel-hydrogen dual fuel combustion on the performance and environmental-economic indicators of a small turbojet engine used in unmanned air vehicles.…”

In the pursuit of sustainable energy solutions, hydrogen emerges as a promising candidate for decarbonization. The United States has the potential to sell wind energy at a record‐low price of 2.5 cents/kWh, making hydrogen production electricity up to four times cheaper than natural gas. Hydrogen's appeal stems from its highly exothermic reaction with oxygen, producing only water as a byproduct. With an energy content equivalent to 2.4 kg of methane or 2.8 kg of gasoline per kilogram, hydrogen boasts a superior energy‐to‐weight ratio compared to fossil fuels. However, its energy‐to‐volume ratio, exemplified by liquid hydrogen's 8.5 MJ.L−1 versus gasoline's 32.6 MJ.L−1, presents a challenge, requiring a larger volume for equivalent energy. In addition, this review employs life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate hydrogen's full life cycle, including production, storage, and utilization. Through an examination of LCA methodologies and principles, the review underscores its importance in measuring hydrogen's environmental sustainability and energy consumption. Key findings reveal diverse hydrogen production pathways, such as blue, green, and purple hydrogen, offering a nuanced understanding of their life cycle inventories. The impact assessment of hydrogen production is explored, supported by case studies illustrating environmental implications. Comparative LCA analysis across different pathways provides crucial insights for decision‐making, shaping environmental and sustainability considerations. Ultimately, the review emphasizes LCA's pivotal role in guiding the hydrogen economy toward a low‐carbon future, positioning hydrogen as a versatile energy carrier with significant potential.This article is categorized under: Emerging Technologies > Hydrogen and Fuel Cells

“…H ydrogen (H 2 ) is receiving more and more attention and is widely used as a clean and efficient energy medium. 1 However, due to its flammability and low explosion limit (4% in air), 2 hydrogen safety has become one of the requisites in the utilization and storage of H 2 . Therefore, the development of highly sensitive and fast hydrogen sensors is of great significance for future hydrogen economics.…”

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) hold great promise in highly sensitive and selective gas sensors due to their ultrahigh atomic efficiency and excellent catalytic activity. However, due to the extremely high surface energy of SACs, it is still a huge challenge to synthesize a stable single-atom metal on sensitive materials. Here, we report an atomic layer deposition (ALD) strategy for the elaborate synthesis of single-atom Pt on oxygen vacancy-rich Fe 2 O 3 nanosheets (Pt−Fe 2 O 3 −V o ), which displayed ultrafast and sensitive detection to H 2 , achieving the stability of Pt single atoms. Gassensing investigation showed that the Pt−Fe 2 O 3 −V o materials enabled a significantly enhanced response of 26.5−50 ppm of H 2 , which was 17-fold higher than that of pure Fe 2 O 3 , as well as ultrafast response time (2 s), extremely low detection limit (86 ppb), and improved stability. The experimental and density functional theory (DFT) studies revealed that the abundant oxygen vacancy sites of Fe 2 O 3 contributed to stabilizing the Pt atoms via electron transfer. In addition, the stabilized Pt atoms also greatly promote the electron transfer of H 2 molecules to Fe 2 O 3 , thereby achieving an excellent H 2 sensing performance. This work provides a potential strategy for the development of highly selective and stable chemical sensors.
