India is gearing up to introduce hydrogen-powered trains as part of its initiative towards green transportation. The Indian Ministry of Railways has earmarked Rs 2,800 crore for the development of 35 hydrogen fuel cells in the upcoming fiscal year. The first hydrogen-powered train is scheduled to debut this month, running on the 89-km long Jind-Sonipat section under the Northern Railway. Unlike other countries, India's trains will feature engines with a remarkable 1,200 horsepower, setting a new global standard. The project is currently in progress at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF), with the production of the first train sets expected to be completed by March 25. Hydrogen-powered trains offer environmental benefits by producing only water as a byproduct, eliminating harmful emissions like carbon dioxide and sulfide. These trains play a vital role in achieving zero carbon emissions and promoting sustainable travel practices. Operating at high speeds, hydrogen-powered trains can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions, contributing to a cleaner environment. Furthermore, the technology's low operating costs, simplified maintenance requirements, and reduced construction expenses make it an attractive option for the transportation industry. As countries like China have already ventured into hydrogen-powered trains, India's foray marks a significant advancement towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly transportation system.
