A hydrogen train is one that uses hydrogen as a fuel, either within a hydrogen internal combustion engine or through a reaction with oxygen within a hydrogen fuel cell. This train emits very less environmentally harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide during operation unlike diesel-powered trains. Fuel cell technology advancements have improved viability of hydrogen-powered vehicles, with the weight of fuel cells reducing and efficiencies improving. Fuel cells convert chemical energy within hydrogen into electricity, also creating water and heat. This is the inverse of electrolysis process that can be used to create hydrogen fuel. The electricity produced by these hydrogen fuel cells is fed into a motor to power the train. Unlike natural gas or diesel fuel, hydrogen produced by electrolysis produces zero emissions while hydrogen produced by steam methane reforming still produces emissions 45% lower than diesel trains.
