Japan has launched its first hydrogen-powered train named HYBARI

- In hydrogen-fuelled trains, Europe has been a pioneer
- Germany launched the world’s first train in 2018 which was built by Alstom SA
Working
- Hydrogen trains are equipped with fuel cells that produce electricity through a combination of hydrogen and oxygen, a process that leaves steam and water as the only emissions
- Excess energy is stored in ion lithium batteries on board the train
- Hydrogen powered vehicles convert the chemical energy of hydrogen to mechanical energy
- The process of conversion takes place either by burning hydrogen in hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicle, or by reacting hydrogen with oxygen in a fuel cell to run electric motors
- Widespread use of hydrogen for fuelling rail transportation is an important element of proposed fuel economy
