中國石化新聞網訊 據世界天然氣網站12月31日消息 蘇格蘭正在進行一項將退役的電動火車轉換為氫動力的項目。
該項目由蘇格蘭企業公司牽頭，與蘇格蘭交通局和聖安德魯斯大學Hydrogen Accelerator合作。
周二，蘇格蘭企業公司稱，一輛退役的ScotRail Class 314電動車已從其格拉斯哥的車輛段通過公路運輸至Bo』ness & Kinneil鐵路。在那裡，該火車將被改造轉換成氫能，在非電氣化線路上替代柴油。
在未來11個月內，由氫技術專家Arcola Energy領導的行業財團將進行氫動力轉換，目標是向2021年11月在格拉斯哥出席COP26大會的全球觀眾展示該列車。
運輸部長麥可馬西森表示：「我們的鐵路脫碳行動計劃旨在到2035年使我們的客運鐵路實現零排放，但為了最大限度地實現我們對氣候變化的雄心壯志，我們還需要研究如何處理退役資產。如果我們能夠以一種碳中和的方式將這些資源重新投入使用，我們將獲得巨大的氣候收益。」
預計氫火車項目將重新吸引遊客對蘇格蘭鐵路保護協會（SRPS）運營的旅遊景點的興趣，並通過租賃設施提供直接現金注入。

Scottish Hydrogen train project progresses
Scotland is progressing with its project that will see a conversion of a retired electric train to Hydrogen power.
The project is lead by Scottish Enterprise in partnership with Transport Scotland and the University of St Andrews』 Hydrogen Accelerator.
On Tuesday, Scottish Enterprise informed that a retired ScotRail Class 314 electric set was transported by road from its depot in Glasgow to the Bo』ness & Kinneil Railway. There it will be converted to hydrogen-power, an alternative to diesel for non-electrified routes.
The conversion to hydrogen power will be carried out by an industry consortium led by hydrogen technology specialists Arcola Energy over the next 11 months with the target of showcasing the train to a global audience attending the COP26 conference in Glasgow in November 2021.
Transport Secretary Michael Matheson, said, 「Our Rail Decarbonisation Action Plan sets out to make our passenger railways emissions-free by 2035, bretired stockut to maximize our climate change ambitions, there is also a requirement to look at what we do with the . If we can bring those back into use in a carbon-neutral way, there are huge climate gains to be made.」
The Hydrogen Train Project is expected to attract renewed interest in the visitor attraction, operated by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society (SRPS), as well as providing a direct cash injection via rental of the facilities there.
