Abstract

Trains have been a crucial part of modern transport, and their high energy efficiency and low greenhouse gas emissions make them ideal candidates for the future transport system. Transitioning from diesel trains to hydrogen fuel cell electric trains is a promising way to decarbonize rail transport. That's because the fuel cell electric trains have several advantages over other electric trains, such as lower life-cycle emissions and shorter refueling time than battery ones, and less requirements for wayside infrastructure than the ones with overhead electric wires. However, hydrogen fuel technology still needs to be advanced in areas including hydrogen production, storage, refueling, and on-board energy management. Currently, there are several pilot projects of hydrogen fuel cell electric trains across the globe, especially in developed countries, including one commercialized and permanent route in Germany. The experiences from the pilot projects will promote the technological and economic feasibility of hydrogen fuel in rail transport.

氢燃料电池电动列车：技术、现状和未来

火车是现代交通的重要组成部分，其能源效率高、温室气体排放量低，是未来交通系统的理想选择。从柴油火车过渡到氢燃料电池电动火车，是铁路运输去碳化的一个大有可为的途径。这是因为与其他电动列车相比，燃料电池电动列车具有若干优势，例如与电池列车相比，燃料电池电动列车的生命周期排放更低，加油时间更短，而且与架空电线列车相比，燃料电池电动列车对路旁基础设施的要求更低。不过，氢燃料技术在制氢、储氢、加氢和车载能源管理等方面仍有待提高。目前，全球特别是发达国家已有多个氢燃料电池电动列车试点项目，其中包括德国的一条商业化永久线路。试点项目的经验将促进氢燃料在铁路运输中的技术和经济可行性。
