Canadian Pacific Kansas City has made a significant move towards decarbonizing its locomotive fleet by ordering an additional 98 fuel cell engines for its hydrogen locomotive program. The engines, capable of generating around 200 kilowatts each, will bring a total of about 20 megawatts of power to the program. Supplier Ballard Power Systems, in an announcement, revealed that the delivery of these engines is scheduled for 2025. This order signifies CPKC's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and embracing the electrification of freight rail in North America. Ballard's CEO, Randy MacEwen, expressed enthusiasm for the order, emphasizing the potential of hydrogen fuel cells to replace diesel engines in the long term. He highlighted the environmental advantages, long-range capability, fast refueling, heavy payload capacity, and operational efficiency of hydrogen fuel cells even in cold weather conditions. CPKC is actively testing its first high-horsepower road locomotive in the hydrogen program and already has two hydrogen locomotives in service in Alberta, demonstrating practical steps towards a more sustainable future in the railway industry.
