Two hydrogen stations open in Alberta
As part of its hydrogen locomotive programme, the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railway (CPKC) is retrofitting a number of diesel locomotives with hydrogen fuel cells so that they can operate without directly generating emissions.
In partnership with the energy company Atco, the Canadian railroad has now completed the construction of hydrogen production and refuelling facilities in Calgary and Edmonton (both Canada) and the facilities are already fully operational.
Each of the facilities includes a 1-megawatt (MW) electrolyser, compression, storage, and dispensing systems for locomotive refuelling. They will serve as a model for future projects, CPKC said. (ben)
