Why would trains need hydrogen? Almost all are electric. If they aren't in your region, why not convert it to electric? Large ships, why hydrogen? Seems again not a good solution.
- Hypx 6y agoTrains are diesel-electric. In practical terms, they're still internal combustion powered. Switching everything over to fuel cells is way simpler than setting up tens of thousands of miles of overhead power lines. There's no path to powering a large ship with batteries. I'm not sure if you understand the physics behind it, but it pretty much has to be a hydrogen based fuel. Either liquid H2, or a derivative like methanol or ammonia.
