Member Event I ERCI Webinar | Hydrogen in Rail: Myth or Reality?
For many Hydrogen is the solution for rail and for others it’s the unicorn of rail. But separating fact and fiction, myth and reality is difficult. Please join the European Railway Clusters Initiative – ERCI – for a webinar discussing these issues.
As the first in our Hydrogen series, we have curated an impressive line up and have challenged our expert speakers on policy, rolling stock, infrastructure and retrofit, with answering the following questions.
- Can hydrogen be the future of rail and what does this actually mean for passengers, operators, funders (Governments) and the supply chain?
- How do international governments analyse the feasibility of hydrogen propulsion for potential freight routes?
- What infrastructure is required to deliver a viable hydrogen fleet and can it be easily scaled?
- Why should conversion of equipment to hydrogen be the first option for existing rail equipment and specific railway environment of hydrogen used in shunting?
We hope you agree, this will be an excellent exploration into the topic of hydrogen in rail, and with an extended Q&A session, we expect some interesting questions.
