Bonn UN conference hears about hydrogen mobility

Hydrogen powered vehicles at the UN in Bonn.

Berlin/Bonn, 12 May 2016. The Clean Energy Partnership is presenting its fleet of vehicles at the UN Climate Change Conference in Bonn. The partnership will also provide information on present status of  hydrogen mobility and its potential as a key component in an energy and transport revolution – because hydrogen-powered electric vehicles support the UN goals for the decarbonization of transport.

The shared goal of the 197 Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is to stabilize the climate system by stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations at a level which would avoid the worst climate impacts. The resulting necessity to successfully transition to green energy is particularly relevant for the transport sector: one of the largest emitters, transport is responsible for 23% of global CO2 emissions. At the same time, the volume of traffic is steadily increasing worldwide. There is an urgent need to continuously reduce the use of fossil fuels in transport. Governments and business have great hopes in the potential of new technologies, which in combination with renewable fuels will enable efficient, environmentally friendly mobility.
