“The efficiency provided by hydrogen in new automotive technology is a game-changer for the industry and H2X is at the forefront of this ground breaking innovation. Hydrogen has the potential to cut fuel costs by up to 30% when compared with traditional diesel. Partnering with H2X not only makes good commercial sense but it also puts Pure Hydrogen in the driver’s seat to capitalise on new and evolving hydrogen technology,” managing director Scott Brown said.

The company estimated global demand for hydrogen to increase to 100 million tonnes by 2030 and exceeding 500 million tonnes by 2050. Asia-Pacific markets are “expected to witness the fastest growth moving forward as the largest hydrogen market.”
