Siemens Energy and Siemens Mobility jointly drive development of hydrogen mobility
- Memorandum of Understanding for joint holistic hydrogen system for rail
- Siemens #energy and #siemens #mobility decarbonize the #mobility sector
Siemens #energy and #siemens #mobility have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop and offer hydrogen systems for trains. The agreement was signed by Albrecht Neumann, CEO of Rolling Stock at #siemens #mobility and Armin Schnettler, Executive Vice President (EVP) of New #energy Business at #siemens #energy. The project aims at jointly developing holistic hydrogen solutions for rail transport and offering them to customers to promote the hydrogen economy in Germany and Europe and support decarbonization in the #mobility sector.
Since its spin-off and public listing last Monday, September 28, 2020, #siemens #energy is no longer part of the #siemens Group. #siemens AG is the largest shareholder of #siemens #energy AG. #siemens #mobility GmbH, which belongs to #siemens AG, and #siemens #energy AG have signed a research cooperation agreement to continue and further expand their joint efforts in the promotion of hydrogen #mobility.
“The decarbonization of #energy systems is a central goal of #siemens #energy. So-called sector coupling plays a key role here – interconnecting previously separate energy-relevant sectors such as electricity and heat generation or #mobility. This can be achieved – completely CO2-free – with the electrolysis of water using electricity produced from renewable #energy sources,” says Armin Schnettler, EVP New #energy Business at #siemens #energy. “Working together with #siemens #mobility, we want to drive sector coupling by developing, among other things, an electrolysis and fueling solution for the fast fueling of hydrogen-powered trains.”
“Our cooperation with #siemens #energy paves the way for sustainable and climate-friendly #mobility. This way, we can support our customers in replacing their diesel-powered trains operating on non-electrified rail lines with emission-free hydrogen-powered trains over the longer term. Together with #siemens #energy, we can even offer hydrogen as a ‘hydrogen as a service’ model for a train’s service life,” says Albrecht Neumann of #siemens #mobility.
Over the next twenty years, thousands of diesel-electric multiple-unit trains are to be successively replaced by more environmentally friendly alternatives in Europe. Diesel-powered trainsets are still in service today on non-electrified rail routes. In Germany, for example, these routes account for around 50 percent of the country’s entire rail network. Environmentally friendly battery and hydrogen drives are to be used as a replacement for the diesel units.
Siemens #energy and #siemens #mobility plan to jointly develop a standardized hydrogen infrastructure solution for fueling the hydrogen-powered trains of #siemens #mobility and later expand the solution in pilot projects and specific customer projects.
Siemens #energy markets the systems and solutions needed for the generation and provision of #green hydrogen, while #siemens #mobility focuses on rail transport solutions, including the required train maintenance and depot equipment. Working together, #siemens #energy and #siemens #mobility can offer rail customers a complete solution. This will not only support customer acceptance of hydrogen power in the transport market, but also promote the establishment of a sustainable hydrogen economy in Germany.
