Programme

The presentation will explore the challenges and solutions associated with hydrogen-powered vehicles. It will delve into pilot projects for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) and Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines (H2 ICE), highlighting the cutting-edge technology driving these innovations. Additionally, the discussion will cover Scania’s approach to Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEV) and the evolving landscape of certification standards.

Daniel will discuss the role different energies can play for heavy trucks decarbonization, and the challenges and opportunities that comes with it.

Roy is currently serving as a Chief Engineer at MAN Truck & Bus SE in Nuremberg, Germany, Roy leads product development for big bore internal combustion engines being responsible from concept until serial production, including diesel and hydrogen variants. His pioneering work in hydrogen internal combustion engines has positioned him at the forefront of sustainable automotive technology, driving innovation and delivering cost-effective solutions. 

In this presentation, Julia will share some insights on how policies like the Fuel EU Maritime regulation, as well as other related EU policies, might influence the possibilities for different alternative marine fuels, including hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels and propulsion concepts. The Fuel EU Maritime regulation includes, for example, a requirement to reduce the yearly average greenhouse gas intensity of energy used onboard ships gradually from 2025 to 2050. 

Ida will begin with a quick introduction to GreenH, highlighting its commitment to advancing local hydrogen production as a key solution for sustainable energy. She will then introduce the Next Wave project, emphasizing its importance in the broader context of zero-emission initiatives. From there, Ida will delve into the main barriers identified for establishing zero-emission tradelines, particularly focusing on challenges in sea transport. Drawing from her experiences with the Bodø project, she will illustrate these obstacles with real-world examples, offering a grounded perspective on the difficulties faced. Finally, Ida will touch on some potential mitigation measures, exploring practical steps that could help overcome these challenges and pave the way for cleaner and more efficient transport solutions.

This presentation will explore the importance of Nordic collaboration in accelerating the transition to sustainable mobility and the company Nordic Innovation’s approach to this.
