Hydrogen Fuel Cell Locomotive Retrofit Project
The main goal for the project is to research the capital investment and running costs for H2 Fuel Cell powered locomotives, determine the economies of scale for fuel cell electric trains to hit the rails profitably, and develop a Canadian fuel cell electric train retrofit pilot project using a diesel-electric multiple unit train as a platform, leveraging existing equipment to re-purpose end-of-life assets for the proposed pilot project in Alberta leveraging Alberta's abundant hydrogen and fuel station facilities along CPKC and CN Right of Ways.
