Hydrogen Railway Applications International Lighthouse

Objective

HyRAIL aims to make an assessment of the state of the art of technologies available and R&D activities and projects on hydrogen and fuel cell, drawing possible scenarios of transport system and energy supply related to railways. Gaps and technological innovations will be identified and proposal put forward to solve fragmentation and to remove bottlenecks. HyRAIL may provide a "vision" and draw a position paper for its implementation in European Railways for the medium long term. Particular attention will be paid to identify user's needs and industrial suppliers, especially for SME, as well as cost and benefits, energetic and environmental issues will be taken into account. Areas of business and sustainable use of energy and resources will be investigated. The results of discussions will strengthen and update the vision, the deployment strategy (DS) and the strategic research agenda (SRA) of EU Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Platform (HFP), as basis for further projects to be set up as response to next call series of FP7. Partners will organise an initial workshop to gather the state of the art and evidence of interest by stakeholders and take & transfer opportunities from other sectors. A workgroup inside SSA participants, open to external contributions, will develop the position paper, according to the results of the workshop. A final conference and a website, in order to present the results of the project and the guidelines for the setting up of adequate initiatives, will be organised. The final goal is to strengthen European Rail actor's collaboration, rendering it more effective as well as corresponding to their major interests, showing in conclusion possible applicability areas of hydrogen in railway sector.
