摘要

London-Snam and state-owned rail operator Ferrovie dello Stato, or FS, signed a memorandum of understanding on Oct. 21 to conduct analysis and feasibility studies on hydrogen railway transport, Snam said in a note. “The companies will experiment with innovative technological solutions related to the production, transport, compression, storage, supply and utilization of hydrogen to contribute to the development of sustainable mobility,” the note read. The two companies, in particular, agreed to collaborate in the assessment and development of pilot projects aimed to convert diesel-fueled railway lines-20% of the country's railway lines are still running on diesel-to hydrogen.
