Green Hydrogen Train Development in India

• Indian Railways has developed a hydrogen-powered train, developed at the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai, which has completed all tests.

• The train will soon be carrying passengers between Jind and Sonipat on an 89-km route in Haryana.

• The train will rely on hydrogen produced in Jind by a 1-MW polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyser that produces 430 kg of hydrogen daily.

• The hydrogen will refill fuel tanks on the train, where fuel cells convert the hydrogen to electricity that runs the train’s electric motors.

• The process involves splitting a water molecule into oxygen, protons, and electrons, and then converting the hydrogen to electricity.

• The electricity for the electrolysers must come from renewable sources, such as solar panels or wind turbines.

• New sources of renewable energy will be needed to meet the goals of the National Green Hydrogen Mission.

• Research is aimed at replacing expensive materials with inexpensive nickel, cobalt, or iron.

• Combining these developments with solar and microbe-driven processes can produce a fuel that is both green and inexpensive.

Eco-friendly trains India is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
