Analysis of the technical feasibility and the corresponding investment for the conversion of an electro-diesel locomotive to a hydrogen-based solution
The purpose of this report is to explore the feasibility of using fuel cell technology to convert existing locomotives currently running on diesel gensets, to run operate using a hydrogen fuel cell instead. Establishing the possibility of all aspects of this potentially ground-breaking
endeavor would make for one of the first steps taken towards decarbonizing Chile’s rail network as well as a significant, and notable contribution towards the worldwide push towards global carbon neutralization (net-zero).
