The mobility sector is accountable for approximately 20% of annual carbon emissions globally, and hydrogen has a significant role to play in reducing these emissions, particularly in “hard to abate” sectors. Making green hydrogen available for use in, among other things, the mobility sector is critical to reducing carbon emissions.
As hydrogen, a key contributor to the energy transition, continues to build momentum globally, more than 30 countries have released hydrogen roadmaps. According to the Hydrogen Council, the number of announced hydrogen projects grew in 2023 by about 35% to over 1,400, equaling USD 570 billion in investments. Green hydrogen is projected to supply up to 25% of the world's energy needs by 2050.
GILLIG is a leading manufacturer of heavy-duty transit buses in the United States and has been family-owned since 1890.
