Powering Transportation with Hydrogen

During the 1st Hydrogen Congress for Latin America & the Caribbean (H2LAC 2021) in April, we gathered industry leaders to discuss the following topics:

  • Can hydrogen shift the paradigm and decarbonize the transportation industry?
  • How are global light and heavy transport manufacturers approaching hydrogen? What are their plans for Latin America?
  • Are ports part of the plan? How we can convert ports to provide hydrogen to fuel cargo ships?
  • Is the aviation industry willing and able to convert to hydrogen? What is the position of the big manufacturers, and what support do they need to make the shift?
  • Can electric and hydrogen share the transportation space? Are they competitors or does one complement the other?
  • How should planning for hydrogen fuel cells impact transportation policy?
  • What sort of investment do we need in infrastructure to make it happen?
  • How are global light and heavy transport manufacturers approaching hydrogen? What are their plans for Latin America?

  • Bart Biebuyck, Executive Director, Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH-JU)
  • Franklin R. Chang Díaz, CEO | Former Astronaut, Ad Astra | NASA
  • Nicolas Pocard, Vice President, Marketing & Strategic Partnerships, Ballard
