Hyundai bets on hydrogen as energy security fears reshape global market

Hydrogen is no longer being pitched merely as a clean-energy alternative. At one of the world’s largest hydrogen industry gatherings this week in the Netherlands, Hyundai Motor Group argued that the fuel is emerging as a strategic answer to growing instability in global energy supply chains. The Korean automaker said Thursday it participated in the World Hydrogen Summit 2026, held from Monday to Thursday at the Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Centre in Rotterdam, where government officials and business leaders gathered to discuss the future of the hydrogen economy. Hyundai Motor Group hosted an exhibition booth centered on HTWO, the company’s hydrogen brand and business platform, displaying a mockup hydrogen fuel cell system and the all-new NEXO hydrogen-powered sport utility vehicle.
