4 magg 2022 anni - (CANADA) ATCO to build fuelling stations for CP Rail's hydrogen locomotive program

Descrizione:

ATCO Group says it has reached a deal with Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. to build two hydrogen production and refuelling stations in Alberta.

The Calgary-based structures and logistics company says the stations will be built at CP Rail's Calgary and Edmonton rail yards. They will be used to supply CP's hydrogen powered locomotive program.

Suncor shifts focus to hydrogen and renewable fuel over wind and solar
The railway announced in December 2020 its plans to design and build North America's hydrogen-powered locomotive using fuel cells and batteries to power the locomotive's electric traction motors.

The hydrogen infrastructure at each CP site will include a one megawattelectrolyzer, compression, storage and dispensing infrastructure for locomotive refuelling.

Where does hydrogen fit into Alberta's energy future?
In Calgary, the electrolyzer will be powered in part by renewable electricity from CP's existing five megawatt solar power facility.

ATCO says construction of facilities is expected to begin later this year with production and supply of hydrogen being provided to locomotives in 2023.
