At the point of usage, trains running on hydrogen produce no pollutants. A fuel cell, which generates energy by fusing the hydrogen stored on the train’s roof with the oxygen in the surrounding air, provides the energy needed for the systems of the train. This method doesn’t release any carbon dioxide.
Additionally, they are effective: internal combustion engines are only slightly less effective than fuel cells. Cost-efficient and low-maintenance are two benefits of fuel cells. Hydrogen-powered trains run smoothly and quietly. Because all that comes out of the exhaust is steam and condensed water, hydrogen produces very little noise while driving.
The Global rail fuel cell market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The development of trains powered by hydrogen fuel cells has been put out to bid by the Indian Railway. The goal of this initiative is to advance hydrogen mobility in India. For the 89 km segment of the Northern Railway between Sonipat and Jind.
A 100 km (60 mile) piece of track in northwest Germany will eventually be replaced by 14 hydrogen-powered trains operated by Landesnahverkehrsgesellschaft Niedersachsen.
The Coradia iLintTM is the first passenger train in the world to run on traction-generating electricity generated by a hydrogen fuel cell. Because it only emits steam and condensed water, this zero-emission train makes a relatively modest amount of noise.
The first hydrogen fuel cell-powered fixed rail electric tram in the world is being powered by Ballard motive modules in China. A new generation of hydrogen-powered trains with an exceptionally long lifecycle, high power density, and enhanced efficiency is being developed by Ballard and Siemens together.
