On the other hand, however, the lower exhaust gas temperatures result in a lack of energy for their propulsion on the exhaust side. Comparison of turbocharging systems. For clean combustion of hydrogen, the turbochargers have to, on the one hand, provide around twice as much air mass as they do in gasoline engines.

Westport Fuel Systems & AVL conclude high-efficiency H2 powertrain can outperform fuel cells in TCO for heavy-duty applications

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen operation with the current WFS HPDI fuel system outperforms natural gas in terms of thermal efficiency, mainly due to lower equivalence ratio for H 2 at given fueling energy level, higher kinetic energy for H 2 jets as well as higher tolerance of H 2 combustion to fuel rich operation.
