Hydrogen & Vector Fuels
Why? Task Mission
The world is rapidly switching away from fossil and carbonaceous fuels to reduce and eliminate CO2 emissions. This task looks at this considerable paradigm shift through the facet of the utilization of hydrogen and vector fuels (fuels derived directly from “green” sources, such as NH3 and MeOH) to identify optimal combustion technologies and prioritize the research to enable these to become viable and acceptable to society.
Project Duration: 2021-2029

Key Deliverables
- Identification and assessment of feasibility and techno-economic assessment of:
- Vector fuels for transport, especially marine and heavy-duty vehicles.
- Vector fuels for energy storage to meet power generation requirements in stationary combustion.
- Mixed fuel combustion with Hydrogen and Hydrogen Vectors.
- Study and interpret road maps and policy statements, and updates on the above.
- As the task develops, research outputs on key combustion aspects.
Policy Relevance
Various countries are approaching this topic differently, driven both by national needs and the existing mix of power and energy sources. The utilization problems of hydrogen and derived fuels share commonality in the combustion technologies and in the research required to solve them. This task contributes directly to policy as it will inform the pathways to change and identify areas critical for research intensification.
