Guildford, UK: Linde is the seventh member to join H2Accelerate, a collaboration to accelerate the deployment of green hydrogen for trucking.
The H2Accelerate includes Daimler Truck, Iveco, Volvo OMV, Shell, and TotalEnergies.
Linde has built some 200 hydrogen refuelling stations to date, including for trucks. The company will work with existing H2Accelerate participants to fund early pre-commercial fuel cell truck projects and lobby for government support to scale-up the hydrogen truck market.
From its early work with hydrogen for mobility in the 1970s Linde has continued to develop the infrastructure and technology that will enable a hydrogen-powered mobility sector. Linde is part of over twenty industry and government-sponsored organisations around the world that are focused on accelerating the transition to clean energy, with hydrogen at its core.
David Burns, vice president, Clean Energy Development, Linde, said: “The task ahead is large and complex. We need to work together to come up with timely solutions to tackle climate change. Trucking is one of the sectors that can substantially reduce its emissions by switching from diesel to clean hydrogen and we are very glad to be part of the H2Accelerate collaboration, to facilitate and drive that switch.”
