A hydrogen combustion engine uses hydrogen as fuel in an internal combustion engine (ICE), emitting only water vapor and some nitrogen oxides. Unlike fuel cells, it operates similarly to conventional engines, making it easier to integrate into existing vehicle architectures. This technology is gaining interest, especially in heavy-duty applications, where electrification is less practical. Hydrogen ICEs can refuel quickly and operate in extreme conditions, but face challenges around fuel storage and emissions control. As hydrogen production and distribution infrastructure grows, hydrogen combustion engines are seen as a transitional zero-emissions solution for sectors like trucking, shipping, and power generation.
