Argonne and Oak Ridge national laboratories collaborate with Wabtec on hydrogen-powered trains to decarbonize rail industry
As the United States shifts away from fossil fuel burning cars and trucks, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are exploring options for another form of transportation: trains. The research focuses on zero carbon hydrogen and other low-carbon fuels as viable alternatives to diesel for the rail industry.
Hydrogen as fuel has many advantages, but locomotive engines must be modified to ensure safe, efficient and clean operation. The team will develop hardware and control strategies for the engine, which will run on hydrogen and diesel fuel to demonstrate the viability of using alternative fuels.
During the second phase of the project, Argonne will leverage more than a decade of experience in modeling hydrogen injection and combustion to create a modeling framework to study combustion and emission control technologies used in hydrogen combustion engines. Experts in fuel injection, kinetics and combustion modeling, design optimization, high performance computing and machine learning will take the project from start to finish.
