Renewables capacity needs to increase substantially and hydrogen and derivatives need an eight-fold increase to meet a Pathway to Net Zero (PNZ) by 2050, according to DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook 2023 report.

The you must realize that BEVs carry too much of an upfront penalty to make sense. Clearly, you are sticking with ICE vehicles because of that.
Millions of people will never be in a position to own one either. No matter what you think, you will have to accept the existence of hydrogen cars for those people.
There is no real effort to push e-fuels or whatever as a way to maintain fossil fuels. It is way too expensive for that.
In the end, FCEVs will as cheap to own as ICE cars, and just as practical. It’s pretty self evident that BEVs aren’t competitive against that.
They do carry an upfront penalty, but offset that by being almost 100% recyclable. I can buy an 2nd hand electric car for less than I can sell my 24yr old truck, so they are cheap enough for most people now.
As the ICE stock is replaced by BEVs we’ll get to majority EVs in the next 10ish years. If the Hydrogen Hulx could replace mine I might get one, but I couldn’t fuel It around here or at home, so it’s not practical when compared to a BEV.
Hydrogen offers the same without the upfront penalty. You don’t have to worry about recycling either, which BTW is likely a very energy-intensive process.
There will be a hydrogen refueling infrastructure everywhere soon. People simply aren’t aware how much progress is being made here.
