Hydrogen Combustion is a Dead-End Technology for Heavy-Duty Trucks

Union of Concerned Scientists

UCS modeling shows that from a climate perspective, a hydrogen combustion truck in 2027 would be virtually indistinguishable from a diesel truck, but would lead to more than twice the negative monetized health impacts (including premature mortality and increased hospitalizations and ER visits).

RePlanet Nederland’s review of the draft Delegated Regulation on nuclear energy and gaseous fossil fuels in the sustainable finance taxonomy

Environmental Progress

Observing this timeline, countries should have the plan laid out, with the appropriate political permission given, no later than 2027, to have a disposal facility operational by 2050. The time from political permit to a working facility was 23 years. For example, the title of section 4.27 reads (our emphasis): “4.27.
