23 май 2022 г. - ALSTOM - Collaboration with PKN Orlen on hydrogen railways

Описание:

The corporation, which is consistently implementing the hydrogen strategy, announced earlier this year that it will provide the refueling infrastructure for trains produced by Alstom. The first hydrogen vehicles are likely to roll out on regional lines within two years.

“We are effectively implementing our hydrogen strategy, which supports our efforts to achieve carbon neutrality,” said Daniel Obajtek, president of the PKN Orlen management board. “By 2030, we intend to allocate about PLN 7.5bn [US$1.7bn) into investments. This will translate into a reduction of 1.6m tones of CO2 emissions and, most importantly, an increase in Poland’s energy security. Cooperation with Alstom is another important step that will strengthen our position as a regional leader in hydrogen technologies.”

Under the agreement, Alstom will cooperate with PKN in participating in proceedings organized by public rail transport operators. Alstom will be responsible for the supply of zero-emission trains powered by hydrogen fuel cells. In turn, PKN will be responsible for the distribution, storage, and supply of hydrogen fuel for these trains.
