Hydrogen: The next wave for electric vehicles? | McKinsey & Company



...18 companies in the automotive, oil and gas, industrial gas, and equipment industries—presented its vision of how hydrogen can contribute to the ambitious climate targets. It considers hydrogen an enabler of the transition to a renewable-energy system and a clean-energy carrier for a wide range of applications. If serious efforts are made to limit global warming to 2 degrees, the council estimates that hydrogen could contribute around one-fifth of the total abatement need by 2050.



Hydrogen can play seven major roles in the energy transformation



..By 2050, the members of the council believe hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicles could constitute up to 20 percent of the total vehicle fleet, some 400 million cars, 15 million to 20 million trucks, and around 5 million buses. In their scenario, hydrogen would play a larger role in heavier and long-range segments
