The UK Department for Transport (DFT), is considering to deploy hydrogen-powered trains.
DFT is trying to accommodate rising passenger demands on non-electrified routes. More than half of the network in the country is not electrified and operated by high-emission diesel trains. Fuel cell powered trains could be thus an elegant solution for the routes where the electrification would be economically unsustainable.
Fourteen zero-emission H2 trains will already operate soon in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The CTC Network promotes the accelerated transfer of environmentally sound technologies for low carbon and climate resilient development at the request of developing countries.
