Hydrogen combustion engine-powered trains are set to be at the centre of a collaborative research and development agreement between Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories and Wabtec in a bid to decarbonise US rail.
H2 View understands researchers from the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and locomotive manufacturer, Wabtec will explore the potential of hydrogen combustion engine technology in the rail industry.
It is hoped the team will be able to design train engines that will deliver the same power, range, and cost-effectiveness as current diesel technology.
