This executive summary from Transition Accelerator examines the techno-economic feasibility of establishing new hydrogen value chains to support heavy-duty transport such as trucks, buses, and trains. It explores centralized low-carbon hydrogen production, delivery options (compressed gas tube trailers, liquid hydrogen tankers, and pipelines), and fueling infrastructure economics. The report highlights the critical role of scale, demand, and technology improvements in achieving hydrogen fuel costs competitive with diesel by 2030. It provides strategic recommendations for regional hydrogen hubs, infrastructure planning, risk mitigation, demand creation, and innovation to accelerate hydrogen adoption in Canada’s transportation sector.
