Linde inaugurates hydrogen refuelling system for passenger trains

Linde’s hydrogen refuelling system, which it built, owns and operates, will refuel 14 hydrogen-powered passenger trains, enabling each train to run for 1000 km emission-free on a single refuelling. It has a total capacity of around 1600 kg of hydrogen per day, making it one of the largest hydrogen refuelling systems ever built. Linde’s future-ready hydrogen refuelling system has been designed and constructed with the ability to integrate future onsite green hydrogen generation. The new hydrogen trains will replace existing diesel-powered trains.

“Linde is committed to making a significant contribution towards decarbonising transport in Europe,” said Veerle Slenders, President Region Europe West, Linde. “We are proud that Linde’s innovative technology plays a key role in supporting this project and establishing a blueprint for cleaner public transport systems around the world.”

“The world's first hydrogen train, the Coradia iLint, demonstrates a clear commitment to green mobility combined with the latest technology,” said Müslüm Yakisan, President of Alstom in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. “We are very proud to see the first series operation in action together with our partners Linde, LNVG and evb.”

Linde is a global leader in the production, processing, storage and distribution of hydrogen. It has the largest liquid hydrogen capacity and distribution system in the world. The company operates the world's first high-purity hydrogen storage cavern plus pipeline networks totalling approximately 1000 km globally, to reliably supply its customers. Linde is at the forefront in the transition to clean hydrogen and has installed over 200 hydrogen fuelling stations and 80 hydrogen electrolysis plants worldwide. The company offers the latest hydrogen technologies through its world class engineering organisation, key alliances and partnerships.
