Is it time to end the battle between battery and fuel-cell vehicles, and unite these clean energy sources in the mission for automotive decarbonisation?

As the world grapples with the global scarcity of resources, leading circular materials technology company Umicore suggests that integrating battery and fuel-cell vehicles is the key to achieving 100% decarbonisation. While batteries store and use energy, fuel cells generate power by converting available fuel, making them a continuous source of energy.

Umicore emphasises the hybrid potential, stating, "Both technologies will have their place as a hybrid solution." As companies like Tesla champion battery-electric cars, and First Hydrogen explores the capabilities of fuel-cell vehicles, the debate between battery and fuel cell narrows.
