Alstom’s hydrogen train experiment has hit the buffers again, with operators in Germany reverting to diesel because replacement fuel cells are not available. Only four of the 14 Coradia trains Lower Saxony purchased are in operation. It is tempting to dismiss this as a simple supply chain hiccup, but the … [continued]
A new, quick-and-nimble fueling system will deploy green hydrogen and mobile “smart” technology for fuel cell electric trains.
The hydrogen chorus is again singing, discordantly and joyfully, as Bavaria continues along the tragicomic journey which inevitably leads to abandoning hydrogen after wasting much governmental money and delaying electrification. A tiny, two-car Siemens light-rail passenger train has completed trials this week and sometime in 2024 will go into service, … [continued]
Hydrogen fuel cell electric trains are coming to decarbonize railways in Germany, India, and California with an assist from green hydrogen technology.
There is an inevitability to the stumbling and flailing journey of hydrogen for transportation. Every effort follows the same steps, simply replacing the cast and setting as the play unfolds. There are conmen, hucksters, marks and dupes involved. Much money, time and talent is wasted along the way. Tune in … [continued]
California places big bet on hydrogen fuel cell trains to help decarbonize public transportation, with an assist from renewable hydrogen.
Cummins and Alstom have joined forces to launch the world’s first 100% hydrogen fuel cell train route for passengers in Germany.
The board of FNM, Lombardy’s leading public transport group, approves major investment in green railway transportation.
Most people in the renewable energy ecosphere know that battery electric mobility is ahead of hydrogen fuel cell mobility. Many people are also aware that progress in battery technology is going faster than in hydrogen fuel cell technology.2
Why is the government of Ontario currently soliciting design concepts for a hydrogen-powered train to be used on the GO rail network around the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area?
