“Hydrogen internal combustion engines (ICE) offer immediate decarbonisation for non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) by facilitating a quick transition to hydrogen fuel, driving investment and infrastructure growth for hydrogen.”
This was the opinion of Prof. Sam Akehurst, Research Director at IAAPS, whose research found that hydrogen ICE technology can match or exceed diesel engine efficiency with little to no emissions.
Despite being a key sector in the UK economy, contributing over £17.6bn ($22.4bn) in 2022, off-road vehicles and heavy machinery are among the most challenging to decarbonise.
This is attributed to the sector’s reliance on diverse machinery operating in varied environments with demanding duty cycles, along with its heavy reliance on diesel engines.
