- Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) signed
- Siemens Mobility and the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nuremberg for Renewable Energy agree on joint research for the use of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology in rail transport
The
use of hydrogen technology in rail transport is becoming increasingly important
as a solution for reducing CO2 emissions and helping to meet climate
targets. In recent years, Siemens Mobility has developed a hydrogen-powered
train, the Mireo Plus H. In this technology, hydrogen is tanked in gas form and
must be kept under high pressure in order to achieve the required high density.
