Hydrogen valleys are ecosystems in which the production and consumption of hydrogen at the local level is facilitated.
More than 100 leaders are meeting these days in Egypt for the International Climate Summit. On the debate table: how to fight against climate change. And, among the measures adopted, COP27 has approved the construction of 100 hydrogen valleys that will favor fuel cell cars.
COP27 is an international event in which the leaders of the main powers discuss what can be done to prevent the planet’s temperature from rising further. Transport is having a special weight in this edition; hence some of the many measures being taken at the Summit have an impact on drivers.
End of combustion cars worldwide
At the United Nations Summit, they are talking about the creation of net zero factories (that reduce their emissions to a minimum with the use of renewable energies and offset the unavoidable ones); the development of technologies for the manufacture of ecological steel; from the drive to clean fuels; and the reuse of electric car batteries for domestic purposes.
To advance in the energy transition, it has also been confirmed that 2040 will be the last year in which combustion engines are manufactured worldwide; while in Europe it will be five years earlier (Spain has joined the Accelerate to Zero coalition that promotes this measure). Although this objective is not binding for all the countries that are part of the UN (193 in total).

100 valleys of hydrogen
Another of the measures approved by the countries that account for more than half of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) at COP27 is the construction of at least 100 hydrogen valleys.
Hydrogen valleys are ecosystems in which the consumption and production of hydrogen at the local level is encouraged. This molecule has many uses and is expected to be key in the transition towards the use of clean energy in transportation.
Hydrogen cars in 2022: all models
The ban on diesel and gasoline engines must be accompanied by an increase in the supply of zero-emission vehicles; Hence, more and more manufacturers are betting on renewable hydrogen as a fuel.
The decision of the world forum on the environment will undoubtedly be a boost that will lower costs and expand hydrogen recharging stations, two key points for the popularization of fuel cell cars.
