Non-electrified rail networks are often served by diesel-powered trains. Alstom, however, has developed an environmentally friendly alternative. The electric Coradia iLint not only produces zero emissions, but features a smart energy management system and goes about its business nice and quietly.
Trains are a great place to use fuel cells because they can carry enough hydrogen to make long runs. And refueling is easy because the hydrogen fuel needs to be in only one place along the route, not scattered all over the territory as trucks and cars need. And no CO2 pollution from the train and a constant supply of water from the process for passengers. Good deal. JB
