Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), in collaboration with Ballard Power Systems, is transitioning its locomotives from diesel to hydrogen in Canada and the U.S. Ballard announced a long-term supply agreement for 98 fuel cell engines to support CPKC's decarbonization vision. CPKC has already initiated a trial program using Ballard fuel cell engines and currently operates three hydrogen-powered locomotives. The partnership aims to promote environmental sustainability and participate in the electrification of freight rail in North America. CPKC has recently completed hydrogen production and fueling facilities in Calgary and Edmonton as part of its Hydrogen Locomotive Program. These facilities, developed in partnership with ATCO EnPower, house one-megawatt electrolyzers for hydrogen production, compression, storage, and refueling systems. The Calgary facility utilizes solar power from CPKC's solar installation for electrolysis. CPKC's investment in hydrogen infrastructure underscores its commitment to reducing emissions and embracing renewable energy sources. Ballard CEO Randy MacEwen expressed excitement about strengthening the strategic relationship with CPKC and highlighted hydrogen fuel cells as a promising long-term replacement for diesel engines, offering numerous advantages including environmental benefits, range, refueling speed, payload capacity, and operability in cold conditions.
