Alstom today confirmed that it plans to work with Eversholt Rail to bring its world-leading hydrogen technology to trains in the UK. The company plans call to convert Eversholt Rai Class 321 electric trains to hydrogen operation. Nick Crossfield, managing director of Alstom UK and Ireland.said, “Not only are hydrogen trains zero carbon, they are near-silent and emit no particulates, which means they offer substantial air quality and noise pollution benefits too," explained Nick Crossfield, managing director of Alstom UK and Ireland. "On cost, hydrogen trains can help to avoid the necessity for line electrification, which represents a significant investment for customers." He continued, “We think the potential long-term application of hydrogen in the UK is very significant. Less than fifty per cent of the UK network is electrified, and much that isn’t electrified is unlikely ever to be so. "Starting with this conversion, we think hydrogen could offer the right zero carbon solution for many parts of the network.”

Hydrogen will be key to the energy system of the future, since it is produced from a multitude of sources, and can therefore contribute to countries� diversification of supply and the integration of renewable energy. In addition, it is a storable energy vector that produces no CO2 emissions. For all the reasons I have mentioned, I strongly believe that fuel-cell technology will become a significant solution, especially in our powertrain mix, over the coming decade. Short-term technological improvements and cost breakthroughs will be necessary for its massive deployment in the automotive industry.

Thanks z-cars, interesting viewing.

Why Rome sends trains filled with rubbish to Austria. Rome's rubbish is helping to power Austrian homes - and it gets to Austria by train. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39641761 How about powering Roman homes with their own rubbish.

The lawsuit claims Tesla willfully copied these patents in creating its electric truck, and Nikola is seeking $2 billion in damages in return.

Thanks Telehoneman. Very Interesting. The first to lines: Beer giant Anheuser-Busch ordered up to 800 of Nikola Motor Co.�s semi-trucks in the largest single deal on record for heavy-duty delivery trucks powered by hydrogen fuel cells. Anheuser-Busch said Thursday that it plans to replace its entire dedicated long-haul truck fleet in the U.S. with zero emissions vehicles

Filter THE BASHER is the way to go FH. I would read the posts if I thought it was useful but lets face it there has been nothing and never will be anything worth spending any time on.

Good spot 98889.

Exactly right Piltick.

WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING.

Hi everyone, First of all thank you for the feedback from those who attended today's AGM. I would be interested on your thoughts on the linkage between the Annual Results RNS, which was included an upbeat Chairman's statement and today's AGM, which didn't seem quite as upbeat. I then considered the purpose of an AGM - a yearly meeting of the members or shareholders of a club, company, or other organization, especially for holding elections and reporting on the year's events. I am just throwing this into the mix and wondered whether they are essentially drawing a close on 2017 events in preparation for the 'exciting commercial phase'. Like many I was hoping for news ahead of the AGM. GLAH

Any thoughts on whether any of the cheaper H2 will come from PHE. Glah

Hope you enjoy folks. Looking forward to the updates. Glah.

Piltick. Lets hope things speed up at 12.00

Slow speed here as well Piktick

Courtesy of Telephoneman. Why might these Eastern European cities choose PHE for their hydrogen instead of an alternative supplier? To convert a fleet of 1,500 buses to hydrogen fuel cells, assuming average usage per bus of 20kg per day would require a supply of 30 tonnes of hydrogen per day. From PHE that would involve 30 X 25 tonne per day G3's which besides providing 30 tonnes of hydrogen per day would also destroy 750 tonnes of waste plastic's and end of life tyres per day or 262,500 tonnes per year and beef up the local power grid to the tune of 35MW, generating 840MWh's per day ,that's 294GWh's per year, based on running 350 days per year. PHE would be able to deliver hydrogen (and make an excellent profit) at �5/kg, equal to the price of diesel. Using a competitor who makes hydrogen via electrolysis would require approximately 48MWh's of electricity per day to produce 1 tonne of hydrogen, so 30 tonnes per day would require 1,440MWh's from the local grid, that's 504GWh's per year. Hydrogen produced via electrolysis is currently selling for �10+/kg. Clearly PHE wins on 3 fronts, it delivers H2 at the equivalent price of diesel, half the price of the competition, it destroys 262,500 tonnes of the cities waste per year and also puts 294GWh's of electricity into the local grid per year.

Thank you Telephoneman.
