Regional hydrogen trains on Czech railways
ÚJV Řež, a. s. ·Czechia
About this project
<p>The objective of this project is to analyze the Czech railways and locate areas where hydrogen train technology would be a preferred technical, economic and environmental solution compared with other train technologies. This study will examine and collect initial data especially from the non-electrified railways where diesel train are operated. Through the methodology and software developed by SINTEF, the analysis will generate techno-economic analyses and make a comparison ranking of train technologies solution between diesel, battery, hydrogen and hybrid trains. The results will allow to identify preferred areas with a beneficial techno, economic and environmental outcome by deploying low-emission trains for replacing future decommissioned diesel trains on non-electrified railway.</p>
Bilateral cooperation results
The bilateral collaboration has been highly beneficial, with data shared and used in models by the Norwegian partner, expanding the model's application internationally, while all results is bilaral (except the video). Both sides plan to continue cooperation through international projects, including a new techno-economic analysis of Czech/German cross-border lines, with ongoing intensive contact and strong collaboration.
