Vehicle-oriented and Sweden-framed life cycle assessment: Hydrogen for long-haul trucks

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: eq per vehicle. Additionally, electrolysis powered by the Swedish grid appears more competitive than blue hydrogen, for most cases evaluated. For high hydrogen leakage scenarios (∼30%), GWP of green hydrogen, per ton-km, increases 2-fold. The low payload of tanker ships transporting hydrogen nullifies the benefits of importing green hydrogen. Truck manufacturing industries and low-carbon electricity enhance the potential for hydrogen to decarbonize the segment in Sweden.
