FOCUS DAY | 24 JUNE, 2025

12:10 PM LUNCH & LESSON | EXAMINE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS & HYDROGEN COMBUSTION ENGINES

FIND OUT WHAT MAKES SENSE TO USE FOR SPECIFIC SECTORS & SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS

Hydrogen fuel cells have the potential to revolutionise zero-emission vehicle development, however cost and accessibility issues mean that Hydrogen ICE may be a more appropriate solution in the near future until the hydrogen economy matures.

Recognising the realities of running either a hydrogen fuel cell or hydrogen combustion engine vehicle can make the decision between the two technologies simpler and more accurate.

  • Explore the cost and adaptations required for the change to hydrogen fuel cells or hydrogen combustion engines
  • Gain insight into which technology is more suited to which sector
