Comment on Hydrogen locomotive
arc@lemm.ee 1 year agoIt can be made from water and renewables at about 3-4x the energy cost of charging a battery. In train terms, that means you could be operating 3 battery trains instead of 1 hydrogen train. Or you could charge 3 battery tenders and have the flexibility in your logistics of how many you hook up to your 1 train.

To what I know, the hydrogen to be produced is intentended to replace fossil gas in northern europe countries. It’s meant to be a stockpileable energy resource.
It’s not ideal but we either make middle of the road commitments and actually get something done to move forward or just call it all off an let things fizzle out

Unless someone figures a way to sequester hydrogen into an inert, reversible form you really don’t want to be stockpiling hydrogen for obvious reasons.

It’s not like we have had disastrous events related to hydrogen.
The objective is to built a trans-iberian pipeline for the liquified hydrogen. So, it will be interesting.
