World’s First Hydrogen Trains Launch in Germany
The world's first hydrogen-powered trains have begun running in Germany. They began carrying passengers Monday in Germany's northern Lower Saxony state. The new trains will run 100-kilometer trips and can travel up to 140 kilometers an hour.
A French railroad company called Alstom built the two trains. Teams in Germany and France cooperated on the project, which was supported by the German government. The new train model, called the Coradia iLint, signals the beginning of efforts in Germany and other nations to move away from pollution-producing diesel trains.
Hydrogen trains vs. diesel trains
The Coradia iLint is designed to run on non-electrified train lines with low levels of noise. It uses a process that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electrical power. If the system produces more energy than the train needs at that time, it can store the extra energy in batteries. The only emissions are water and steam.
A single tank of hydrogen can run a Coradia iLint train for about 1,000 kilometers. This is very similar to the distance a diesel-powered train can run on with a single tank.

Hydrogen-powered trains cost more than diesel trains to build. But Alstom officials say the operating costs are much lower. The company plans to provide another 14 Coradia iLint trains to Lower Saxony by 2021.
The head of railroad operations in the area, Carmen Schwabl, praised replacing diesel trains with hydrogen. She said the move was an important first step in using clean-burning technologies to reach climate protection goals.
Schwabl added: "We also do this because about 120 diesel trainsets in our vehicle pool will reach the end of their lifetime within the next 30 years, meaning we will have to replace them. The experience gained with this project helps us find a sustainable and practical solution."
Officials say the area's many wind turbines will produce part of the energy to create the hydrogen to power the trains.
Alstom says several other European countries have also expressed interest in developing hydrogen train systems. France has already said it wants its first hydrogen train to be operating by 2022.

全球首批氢动力列车在德国投入使用
全球首批氢动力列车已在德国投入运行0~AFR]Df]9B。周一，氢动力列车开始在德国北部的下萨克森州搭载乘客#z5JH3u],kWL。新列车将在100公里长的线路上行驶，最高时速可达140公里ZE^6uN2ldTX&9Xjj。

Coradia iLint列车能在非电气化铁路线上行驶，而且可实现低噪音(8C]hhyxMl6。氢动力列车通过氢和氧的混合产生电能来提供动力3_u(YPuSEq[。如果该系统产生的能量多于列车所需的能量，可将多余的能量储存在列车上的电池中,X8ai=v)F8eb,y4Fi&。列车唯一的排放物是水和蒸汽(dhUFBw#K%uCDrw*DsH.。
Coradia iLint列车用一箱氢可以行驶约1000公里^OWP((n@pcm。这与柴油列车加满油后的行驶里程相当5sb^_N.5&.pHoB@lDsf。
