Canadian Pacific Kansas City plans to team up with CSX to build
and deploy hydrogen locomotive conversion kits for diesel-electric
locomotives as part of a push to lower-emission operations.
Canadian Pacific said that as a first step under a proposed
joint venture, Florida-based CSX plans to convert one of its diesel
locomotives using a hydrogen conversion kit developed by the
Canadian railway operator.
The collaboration will expand the Canadian company's hydrogen
locomotive program beyond a single railroad.
CSX said the initiative with Canadian Pacific will benefit from
its advanced, large-scale facilities where the locomotives will be
built.
In late-2020, Canadian Pacific unveiled plans to develop North
America's first line-haul hydrogen-powered locomotive by
retrofitting a diesel freight locomotive with hydrogen fuel cells
and battery technology. By the end of 2022, the company's initial
zero-emissions hydrogen locomotive had made its first revenue moves
and Canadian Pacific said it has deployed a second hydrogen
locomotive for testing in terminal operations and expects it will
enter service later in 2023.
Canadian Pacific said that nearly the entire freight locomotive
fleet of all railway operators in North America consists of
diesel-powered units, which representing the industry's most
significant source of greenhouse gas emissions.
