With environmental awareness and the transition to zero-emissions more top-of-mind than ever before, the industry is undergoing a gradual, albeit certain shift away from fossil fuels to either electric or renewable energy sources, especially when it comes to mobility. While electric vehicles are a clear and solid way forward, hydrogen presents itself as a strong option, too, especially if the concerns surrounding its production are addressed.
You see, technically speaking, the only emissions that come out of hydrogen-powered vehicles are warm air and water vapor. As such, hydrogen-powered vehicles, just like EVs, are indeed considered zero-emissions. At least that’s what the U.S. Department of Energy says. The concern arises in the production of hydrogen fuel, which can be very energy intensive, and as such, may sometimes require the use of non-renewable energy sources. This is where Bosch enters the picture, as it is now investing heavily towards hydrogen infrastructure, with the goal of having a climate-neutral hydrogen production system in place.
