HYDROGEN TRAIN

About:

• Working: Hydrogen trains use fuel cells that produce electricity through a combination of hydrogen and oxygen, which leaves steam and water as the only emissions. Excess energy is stored in ion lithium batteries on board the train.
  
  
• Journey: This happened when Two Coradia iLint trains, built by French TGV-maker Alstom, began running a 100 km (62-mile) route between the towns and cities of Cuxhaven, Bremerhaven, Bremervoerde and Buxtehude in
  
  
• Significance: This signals a shift from polluting diesel trains with costlier but eco-friendly technology.
