HydroFLEX, Hydrogen Fuel Cell
- Made:
- 2021
Hydrogen fuel cell used in the UK's first hydrogen train, HydroFLEX. A fuel cell is a device that takes in hydrogen fuel as a gas and combines this with oxygen from the air to generate electricity: it is an electrochemical reaction – there is no combustion. The only emissions are pure water & waste heat. The advantages versus an equivalent diesel generator are that it’s clean & quiet and the fuel can be generated from multiple sources, including zero carbon electricity.
