  1. Germany has a hydrogen fuel cell train on fare paying operation. The UK is to trial them soon. The UK is looking to use hydrogen in trains to preclude overhead wiring of track which is expensive to install and maintain. The electrification programme has been put on hold. New trains will be diesel/electric hybrids that can be easily converted to hydrogen fuel cell, using the existing electric traction motors, when needed. Hydrogen makes sense when the electricity to crack the water to obtain the hydrogen is cleanly and freely obtained, like wind, wave, etc.

  2. A company proposed to convert the natural gas network in the city of Leeds in England. A simple to job to convert natural gas appliances to Hydrogen.
