Hydrogen trains are railway vehicles that utilize hydrogen fuel cells to power their engines. Unlike traditional diesel trains, which rely on fossil fuels, hydrogen trains emit only water vapor and heat as byproducts, making them a more environmentally friendly alternative. The hydrogen fuel cells convert stored hydrogen into electricity, which powers electric traction motors to drive the train.Hydrogen trains offer several advantages, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, quieter operation, and the potential to operate on non-electrified railway lines where conventional electric trains are not feasible. The adoption of hydrogen technology in rail transport is part of a broader effort to decarbonize the transport sector and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. As hydrogen infrastructure and technology continue to develop, hydrogen trains represent a promising solution for sustainable, efficient rail travel.
