SKU # MC19940504

Description

n this study, Frost & Sullivan offers a comprehensive exploration of the carbon dioxide (CO2) trail of a hydrogen ICE truck (H2 ICE) by investigating the carbon emission implications, focusing on hydrogen as a prospective fuel for the trucking industry in 3 countries within the European Union—France, Germany, and Spain. The analysis begins with the rationale for considering hydrogen, highlighting its potential to mitigate life cycle emissions in comparison to conventional fuels.

Frost & Sullivan delves into various hydrogen production methods, ranging from gray hydrogen to renewable sources, each carrying distinct carbon footprints. The emphasis is on the CO2 emissions associated with manufacturing H2 ICE vehicles, pinpointing significant contributions from components such as H2 engines and hydrogen storage tanks. Furthermore, the study projects total CO2 emissions throughout truck operations, drawing comparative insights with its battery electric, fuel cell electric truck, and diesel truck counterparts.

The 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 from 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.
