The transition of heavy-duty transport requires more green solutions! In a recent op-ed for Altinget Energi og Forsyning, STRING’s Managing Director, Thomas Becker, highlights the critical need for a balanced approach to green fuels to drive a sustainable shift in heavy-duty road transport. While electrification holds potential, we need other alternatives. Hydrogen trucks offer an ideal solution for long-haul journeys but infrastructure to support them is still lacking. Political priorities that encourage both hydrogen and electric options are essential to shift effectively away from diesel. With countries around the world making significant green investments, Denmark has a chance to match this momentum and strengthen its leadership. The upcoming revision of the Danish Climate Act offers a timely opportunity to reinforce support for green fuels. These points align perfectly with our objectives at GREATER4H, as we work to support the development of hydrogen infrastructure for a sustainable and resilient heavy-duty transport sector across Northern Europe.

Welcome to the official page of H2ignite – Igniting Green Hydrogen in the North Sea Region! We’re on a mission to tackle the key challenges in hydrogen deployment by establishing four cross-sector regional hydrogen ecosystems. Over the next three years, we’ll work together to tackle some of the most pressing obstacles in the hydrogen sector, accelerating the shift toward a greener, more sustainable future. Here’s how we’re doing it: 🔹 Establishing 4 cross-sector regional H2 innovation ecosystems 🔹 Developing and testing innovative business models for green hydrogen transport value chain focusing on heavy-duty vehicles and vessels 🔹 Fostering cross-sector dialogue, narrowing the gap between legislators and enterprises 🔹 Promoting policy innovations like procurement frameworks and incentive schemes to fast-track deployment 🔹 Creating actionable roadmaps to roll out proven business models and policies, ensuring lasting collaboration and innovation across borders. Powered by a strong consortium as part of the Interreg North Sea Programme including Schleswig-Holstein.
