Advanced Hydrogen Technologies (AHT) Group’s independent trial has seen its hydrogen generator reduce emissions on a Class 08 locomotive in the UK.
Under a joint venture partnership with Harry Needle Railroad Company (HNRC), the first week of the trial used AHT’s R4 Generator to “clean” the train by removing residual carbon build up, before a carbon capture device was added.
The study reported overall gas emissions were reduced by 22% and heavy particulates by 20%, with diesel efficiency savings of 8% also achieved.
