Important Innovations

  Germany is Leading the Hydrogen Travel Way                                                  Source:  Alstom Your Train Commute Has Zero Emissions & Very Low Noise Germany just unveiled the world's first fleet of hydrogen powered passenger trains.  The 14 passenger train cars are powered by hydrogen fuel cells that generate electricity to power the trains with zero emissions.  These trains, by replacing 15 diesel powered trains, will eliminate the use of 442,000 gallons of diesel per year.  The hydrogen trains are now deployed on a regional route in Lower Saxony, Germany.  They are at peace with and friendly to the environment as their travels are low noise and emissions free. The Lower Saxony passenger trains are a world first and are being applauded by environmentalists globally.  The German government is backing hydrogen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. Hydrogen Rail Technology The trains are made by Alstom, a global leader in rail technology and train manufacturing

  Germany's Coradia iLint Hydrogen Trains                                                  Source:  Alstom Zero CO2 Emissions Travel Germany has deployed the world's first hydrogen-powered passenger trains.  This is an important move for the environment as the hydrogen trains have no greenhouse gas emissions.  It is important too from the perspective that Europe is attempting to transition from Russian oil and gas in order to comply with the Europe Union's sanctions against Russia following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  The trains require no diesel. Called Coradia iLint, they are priced at $86 million. They are totally powered by hydrogen fuel cells.  These are the first hydrogen trains that are fully operational and regularly carrying passengers. They just started regular service in the Hamburg area. Some Important Details The trains were developed by train manufacturer Alstom of France. Alstom says they are "a true alternative to diesel powered trains". They
