Abstract

With electrification still found wanting when it comes to heavier vehicles and modes of transportation, marine, rail and large commercial on- and off-highway applications are seen as the main applications where internal combustion engines (ICE) fed with non-fossil hydrocarbons and hydrogen (H2) can play an important role. Hydrogen IC engines can provide a durable, reliable, and cost-efficient solution based on well-known existing technology, contributing to a fast transition towards carbon-free mobility. The following view provides a summary of the main roles (and a few challenges) associated with H2ICE employment.
