DT-HATS at glance

DT-HATS, a Doctoral Network (DN) supported by the European Union’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, addresses one of the biggest decarbonisation challenges in Europe: heavy-duty transport, which is responsible for around 30% of the sector’s CO₂ emissions. The project explores how green hydrogen (H₂) and ammonia (NH₃) can be combined to deliver technically viable and economically attractive pathways to cleaner long-haul mobility.

DT-HATS brings together advanced research and structured training to prepare a new generation of specialists. Recruited doctoral candidates will generate new knowledge on:

  • Hydrogen and ammonia flow and reaction processes in transport powertrains

  • Efficient integration and utilisation within emerging hydrogen ecosystems

In doing so, DT-HATS will help accelerate the transition towards low-carbon heavy-duty transport through science-based solutions and skilled talent development.

Why does it matter?

Heavy-duty transport is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise. DT-HATS helps accelerate the shift to cleaner mobility by building the scientific evidence and digital tools needed to use green hydrogen and ammonia effectively in future powertrains. By combining experiments with advanced simulation and machine learning, the project enables faster, more reliable design and system optimisation, while training doctoral researchers with the skills to turn green e-fuels into scalable transport solutions.
