With continued investments in R&D, hydrogen trains are likely to play a crucial role in the transition to a more sustainable transportation system.
Climate change is an urgent challenge for everyone. To combat it, Ingerop has made ecology the first strategic axis of its development. In this framework, hydrogen emerges as a key tool to decarbonize critical sectors of the economy, industry, and mobility, while improving the efficiency of renewable energies.
For almost a decade, Ingerop has been strengthening its skills in the hydrogen field. Its multidisciplinary approach encompasses consulting, project management and turnkey projects. Some of the highlights include:
- Ingerop has designed a Maintenance Workshop at Clemont-Ferrant to maintain three bi-mode (electric/hydrogen) Regiolis trains, demonstrating its commitment to the practical implementation of clean technologies.
- The installation of a hydrogen refuelling station for future trains on the line is a crucial step towards the viability of hydrogen rail transport.
- Ingerop is supervising the retrofit work of diesel bus rolling stock to hydrogen technology.
- Ingerop has developed software (POS’HY) capable of dimensioning the entire hydrogen value chain, from production, compression, and storage to distribution.
Despite technical and logistical challenges, the use of hydrogen in rail transport is gaining ground. Hydrogen trains offer a solid alternative to fossil fuels, decreasing greenhouse emissions and local pollutants. With continued investments in R&D, hydrogen trains are likely to play a crucial role in the transition to a more sustainable transportation system.
In short, Ingerop is leading the way towards a cleaner and more sustainable future, where hydrogen will play a central role in rail mobility.
