Further building on previous studies in this field, the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) and Shift2Rail have today launched a joint study investigating the use of fuel cells and hydrogen (FCH) technologies in different rail applications.
Hydrogen-powered trains are equipped with fuel cells that produce electricity through a combination of hydrogen and oxygen, a process that leaves water as the only emissions.
