For all the attention given over to electric cars, a more sustainable approach would be to electrify mass transit and make it more accessible, affordable, and widespread. That’s a particularly tall order for railways, where diesel locomotives still command the field. That could soon change. The green hydrogen industry is gathering momentum, and it is opening up new opportunities to run diesel fuel off the rails.
Rail Decarbonization: It’s Complicated
In terms of electrifying mass transit, buses have been the low hanging fruit. Electric buses are becoming more commonplace, with batteries and hydrogen fuel cells both in the mix.
Wireless charging technology is further boosting the case for battery-electric buses. Earlier iterations required the vehicle to park, but new in-road charging…
