Lhyfe Partners with Deutsche Bahn to Pilot Hydrogen-Powered Train in Germany
Key Ideas
- Lhyfe has built a 1 MW capacity electrolysis plant in Tübingen, Germany, for Deutsche Bahn to pilot a hydrogen-powered train, with an annual production capacity of 30 tonnes using renewable energy.
- Deutsche Bahn's DB Energie is testing sustainable rail energy supply technologies, including the 'H2goesRail' project, and will operate a climate-neutral hydrogen train this year on a test route.
- According to Lhyfe, hydrogen-powered trains are a clean and efficient alternative to diesel-powered trains as they are virtually CO2-free, showcasing the economic viability of hydrogen solutions in the transport sector.
- Lhyfe, a French company, is involved in developing green hydrogen solutions across Europe, with plans for a 10 MW plant in Schwäbisch Gmünd in Baden-Württemberg to produce up to 4 tonnes of green hydrogen daily.
Lhyfe has collaborated with Deutsche Bahn to introduce a hydrogen-powered train in Germany, marking a significant step towards sustainable transport. The 1 MW electrolysis plant in Tübingen, powered by renewable energy from Deutsche Bahn, will support the pilot project, producing 30 tonnes of hydrogen annually. This initiative is part of DB Energie's efforts to explore new technologies for green rail energy, including the 'H2goesRail' project. A climate-neutral hydrogen train is scheduled to run this year on a test route in Baden-Württemberg. Lhyfe's spokesperson emphasized the importance of sustainable energy and innovation in decarbonizing the transport sector, highlighting hydrogen trains as eco-friendly alternatives. The project not only showcases the potential of hydrogen solutions in transport but also underscores the economic feasibility of such initiatives. Lhyfe, based in France, aims to expand green hydrogen infrastructure across Europe. Alongside the Tübingen plant, they are constructing a 10 MW facility in Schwäbisch Gmünd to boost local green hydrogen production.
