The future of mobility begins with H

- Speaker 1 (Energy Specialist): "Hydrogen technologies basically focus on generation, storage, transport, and application. This is because hydrogen is not an energy source per se—it does not exist freely in nature and must be generated. The preferred option is generation via renewable energy, yielding clean hydrogen from a non-polluting source. It can be used to produce electricity for the industrial or residential sectors, for mobility in fuel cell vehicles, or for heat generation, thereby eliminating CO₂ emissions."

- Speaker 2 (Sustainable Mobility Expert): "It is a zero-emission fuel offering the same daily usability as conventional fuels: a fast refueling time of just a few minutes (3 to 5 minutes for a car) and an extensive driving range covering hundreds of kilometers."
- Speaker 1: "Hydrogen enables societal decarbonization across all sectors: industrial, mobility, residential/commercial heating and cooling, power generation, transport, and energy storage. Europe is leaning heavily toward hydrogen after realizing we cannot rely on a single option. For zero-emission vehicles, there are two primary paths: battery electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles."
- Speaker 3 (Port de Barcelona Representative): "Hydrogen is vital for ports because, under the current regulatory framework, we are mandated to reduce greenhouse gases and pollutant emissions. Ports are key nodes in the logistics and transport chain, making it easier to drive fuel shifts across various transport modes."
- Speaker 4: "Furthermore, hydrogen has widespread applications: from generating electricity to power future electric ships, to serving as fuel for trucks and cargo handling vehicles. It also acts as energy storage: all renewable energy entering ports can be stored via hydrogen."
- Speaker 1: "The renewable hydrogen generation facility in Los Angeles relies on molten carbonate technology: methane and steam are introduced, reformed internally, and produce electricity, hydrogen, heat, and water. It represents the most efficient method today for generating hydrogen from methane."
