Abstract
This article critically evaluates the introduction of hydrogen fuel into the Malaysian transportation system for a sustainable and environmental future. The Malaysian government climate road map and the emission reduction agenda are considered using a framework of environmental sustainability. The framework takes account of national macroeconomic issues considering several feasible options for a sustainable environmental future. Towards that end, there are certain critical developments, particularly as the hydrogen fuel option is considered one of the best possible alternatives compared with several other renewable energy choices for sustainable growth. While the benefits of prioritizing a modern emission-free future transport system are great, often issues raised regarding how a national economy can deliberate and implement such policy options become contentious. Therefore, this study will help national policymakers take into account sustainability and environmental considerations within the framework of introducing an effective hydrogen fuel economy into the modern transport system.
