Abstract
The global transport sector is standing at the crossroads of innovation with an urgent need for sustainable solutions that drive transformative change. With its exceptional energy density and ecological footprint, hydrogen has proven to be a pioneer in the race toward greener transportation alternatives. Ambitious decarbonization targets and rising carbon dioxide prices are forcing society to look for new ways of production, and hydrogen can play a key role in revolutionizing not only transport but also the transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources. This revolutionary element offers solutions for ecological, energy, and economic challenges that the world is currently facing, and its use in transport is becoming more promising.
As a producer of emissions, the railway sector plays a large role in greenhouse gas emissions and contributes significantly to the worsening of the climate situation, especially in the vicinity of non-electrified lines. In order to improve the status of this problem, efforts must be made to research and implement alternative energy sources. In an effort to improve the infrastructure, drives with alternative fuels are deployed around the world. Alternative fuels have different energy requirements, depending on the type of drive in which the energy is generated for a given vehicle. Choosing the right drive and fuel is a difficult question that requires dealing with various aspects and variables that enter as decisive parameters when choosing a low-emission or no-emission drive method.
