Shell Says Hydrogen Is Heavy Transport’s Future. What Now for Biofuels? A Deloitte report commissioned by Shell finds that the heavy-freight sector is increasingly planning for a switch to hydrogen.

The study, carried out by global accountancy firm Deloitte on Shell’s behalf, questioned 158 executives in the road freight sector in 22 different countries. Of those asked, 70 percent ranked decarbonization as a top-three concern for their business.

Many participants interviewed for the Getting into Gear report said they expect hydrogen to be commercially viable in just five to 10 years.
