Description

Assessment of CO2 Emissions Life Cycle in the Fuel Cell Electric Truck Sector, United States, 2024–2040


Adoption of Clean Hydrogen Production Sources Will Drive Transformational Growth in Sustainable Transportation Due to Reductions in CO2 Emissions by 43% Per FCET

In this study, Frost & Sullivan offers a comprehensive exploration of the carbon dioxide (CO2) trail of a fuel cell electric truck (FCET) by investigating the carbon emission implications of FCETs, particularly with focus on hydrogen as a prospective fuel for the trucking industry in the United States. Our analysis begins with the rationale for considering hydrogen, highlighting its potential to mitigate life cycle emissions as compared to conventional fuels.

We delve into various hydrogen production methods, ranging from grey hydrogen to renewable sources, each carrying distinct carbon footprints. Emphasis falls on the CO2 emissions associated with manufacturing fuel cell vehicles, pinpointing significant contributions from components including fuel cell stacks and hydrogen storage tanks. Furthermore, we project total CO2 emissions throughout the operation of a truck, drawing comparative insights with its battery electric and diesel truck counterparts.

Ultimately, this study underscores the urgency of transitioning to cleaner hydrogen production methods and optimizing vehicle manufacturing to achieve substantial CO2 emission reductions in the trucking sector.

The study period is 2023 to 2030.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
