Hydrogen cars could slash transportation emissions by 2045
This report discusses a study on how hydrogen fuel cell vehicles impact climate change in the U.S. The researchers developed a tool called CarCarbon to predict future car trends and their environmental effects. By considering factors like vehicle types, fuel prices, and ownership growth, they projected emissions and fuel usage over 25 years. The key finding is that CarCarbon can help estimate how different vehicle technologies, such as hybrids or hydrogen cars, will affect carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption in the future American transportation sector.
