Hydrogen Mobile Machinery Workshop

Hydrogen is emerging as a key energy solution for off-road mobile machinery, offering a sustainable alternative to reduce emissions and diversify energy sources in sectors such as construction, mining, agriculture, and logistics. Its implementation requires not only technological advancements but also a deep understanding of the regulatory framework to ensure safety, efficiency, and feasibility.

These topics were addressed at the workshop “Analysis of the Current Regulation of Hydrogen Mobile Machinery,” organized by ANMOPYC and the Aragon Hydrogen Foundation on February 19 at the headquarters of UNE (Spanish Association for Standardization) in Madrid.

During the event, key aspects were discussed, including:

• Advances in hydrogen technologies applied to mobile machinery, with a review of the latest projects exploring innovative solutions.
• Industrial regulations and homologation processes, essential for the design, manufacturing, and circulation of these machines on public roads.
• Fuel cell power systems, adapted to the specific requirements of mobile machinery.
• Design and safety of supply infrastructures, with special attention to mobile hydrogen stations and their technical requirements.

The participation of professionals from the industrial, energy, and technology sectors, along with government representatives, facilitated the exchange of ideas and perspectives on regulatory challenges and opportunities to drive the adoption of these technologies in the construction, mining, and agricultural industries. Such events are essential for generating synergies and fostering the transition towards a more sustainable energy model for mobile machinery.
