الوصف: This study explores the potential role of hydrogen in decarbonizing the transport sector in Uzbekistan by examining different aspects of the country’s energy system and transport final use. In road transport, Uzbekistan has already gained experience with the use of alternative fuels through the “Compressed Natural Gas—Mobility” initiatives and has achieved a fleet coverage of 59%. These existing frameworks and knowledge can ease the integration of hydrogen into road transport. The rail sector also has the potential for hydrogen uptake, considering that 47% of rail lines are not electrified. The results of this study indicate that powering all CNG vehicles with a 10% hydrogen blend (HCNG) could reduce road transport emissions by 0.62 MtCO2eq per year, while replacing diesel trucks with hydrogen-based vehicles could contribute to an additional reduction of up to 0.32 MtCO2eq per year. In rail transport, hydrogen-powered trains could reduce emissions in non-electrified lines by up to 0.1 kgCO2eq/km of journey. In assessing the potential infrastructure for hydrogen logistics, this study also identifies opportunities for hydrogen export by repurposing the existing natural gas infrastructure. Focusing on Uzbekistan, this study provides a regional perspective on the potential for the integration of hydrogen into the transport sector in Central Asia.
