As a part of the Next Wave project Hydrogen Denmark has been responsible for conductingan analysis describing the innovation and business potential for a roll-out of hydrogen and fuelcell buses in the Nordic region.

All project partners have participated in this analysis andprovided data and information about the current status in these countries regarding hydrogen as a means for decarbonizing the transport sector in general and in relation to buses in particular.

While there are not a great number of hydrogen and fuel cell buses on the streets in the NordicRegion currently and the hydrogen infrastructure is not yet sufficiently constructed, the potentialfor a roll out of hydrogen buses is vast.

This analysis has boiled down to five recommendations going forward with initiatives forimplementation of hydrogen and fuel cell buses: infrastructure, comprehensive strategies, investments, scale and a strengthening of Nordic collaboration.

Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies not only represent a means of decarbonizing the transport sector but also great business opportunities, that can create jobs, new industries, and export markets. The Nordic Region is a world leader in renewable energy and green hydrogen and fuelcell solutions are a natural next step. These new solutions present the Nordic Region with opportunities for future economic growth that is both sustainable and viable.
