Why hydrogen for timber transport?

Heavy timber trucks face long distances and high loads, which makes battery solutions challenging. Hydrogen offers a promising alternative with long range, fast refueling, and high payload capacity. During this session, experts explore how hydrogen compares with other alternatives such as batteries and biofuels, and what’s needed for a large-scale transition in the forestry sector.

Meet the experts

The webinar features specialists from the forestry and transport industry, sharing their knowledge on hydrogen technology and its practical applications:

  • Anders Eriksson, researcher at Skogforsk
  • Tobias Valne, our director

They will discuss current opportunities, barriers, and what it will take to bring hydrogen-powered timber transport into everyday use.
