據Global Railway Review 7月21日消息，Repsol和Talgo將共同開發項目，以促進可再生氫動力列車的開發，并促進伊比利亞半島的無排放鐵路運輸。

　　該協議于2021年7月19日在 Talgo位于Las Rozas的工廠簽署，由Repsol工業轉型和循環經濟執行董事Juan Abascal和Talgo董事長Carlos Palacio Oriol簽署。

　　Repsol是伊比利亞半島領先的氫氣生產商和消費商，經營著歐洲最大的氫氣工廠。該公司在其工業中心使用這種天然氣作為原材料，這些工業中心已經發展成為多能源中心，其中可再生氫是到2050年實現凈零排放的戰略支柱。Repsol于2020年11月在其戰略計劃中宣布，它希望在可再生氫能領域發揮主導作用，處于伊比利亞半島市場的前沿。為此，到2025年，其裝機容量將達到400MW，到2030年將超過1.2GW。

　　就其本身而言，Talgo正在開發氫動力列車，這將使鐵路線脫碳成為可能，特別是那些未電氣化的二級網絡線路。為此，該公司開發了Vittal One列車，這是一種由氫燃料電池驅動的中距離和通勤列車的模塊化解決方案，這將是第一輛雙氫電動列車。該公司還計劃在明年 11月將首列列車投入運行，以便在類似于商業運營的條件下展示和驗證該概念。

　　兩家公司之間的聯盟為使可再生氫動力列車成為現實提供了全面的解決方案。Talgo將負責設計、制造和調試新型短距離和中短途自行式列車，而Repsol將提供其可再生氫發電基礎設施和公司的物流手段，以供應鐵路網絡。

　　這項合作將促進實現政府于2022年10月批準的氫路線圖中設定的目標之一，即到 2030 年建成兩條氫動力商用列車線路。

　　Vittal One可再生氫動力火車

　　Vittal One可再生氫動力列車使用電動機，通過氫電池獲取能量，氫電池將這種燃料轉化為電流。這種類型的列車可以在非電氣化軌道上運行，無需安裝接觸網或進行任何其他類型的改造。因此，它是一種不需要長期額外開發的移動解決方案。它還特別有益于那些與尚未電氣化的二級鐵路線相連的地區，因為它可以快速輕松地實施脫碳出行。

　　Repsol將使用有機廢物在其工業中心生產沼氣，這些沼氣將用于生產可再生氫氣。它已宣布在Cartagena和 Petronor安裝兩個容量為100MW的電解槽，為其綜合設施提供可再生氫氣。此外，這家多能源公司在整個氫價值鏈上培育和促進大型生態系統，在這一生態系統中，供需關系得到調整，技術開發、投資和公私部門合作走到了一起。這類舉措將使西班牙處于南歐可再生氫生產的前沿。

　　Talgo and Repsol to develop renewable hydrogen-powered train

　　Repsol and Talgo will jointly develop projects to promote the creation of renewable hydrogen-powered trains and promote emission-free rail transport in the Iberian Peninsula.

　　The agreement, signed on 19 July 2021 at Talgo’s plant in Las Rozas, Madrid, has been signed by Repsol’s Executive Director of Industrial Transformation and Circular Economy, Juan Abascal, and the Chairman of Talgo, Carlos Palacio Oriol.

　　Repsol is the leading producer and consumer of hydrogen in the Iberian Peninsula and operates the largest hydrogen plant of Europe. The company uses this gas as a raw material at its industrial centres which are already evolving to become multi-energy hubs where renewable hydrogen is a strategic pillar in achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Repsol announced in November 2020, in its Strategic Plan, that it wants to play a leading role in renewable hydrogen, to be at the forefront of the market in the Iberian Peninsula. To do so, it will have an installed capacity of 400 MW by 2025 and will exceed 1.2 GW by 2030.

　　For its part, Talgo is developing hydrogen-powered trains that will make it possible to decarbonise railway lines, especially those of the secondary network that are not electrified. To this end, it has developed its Vittal One train, a modular solution for medium-distance and commuter trains powered by hydrogen fuel cells, which will be the first dual hydrogen-electric train. The company is also planning to put on track next November a first train that will allow demonstrating and validating the concept in conditions similar to those of commercial operation.

　　The alliance between the two companies provides a comprehensive solution to making renewable hydrogen-powered trains a reality. Talgo will handle the design, manufacture, and commissioning of the new self-propelled trains for short- and medium-distances, while Repsol will offer up its renewable hydrogen generation infrastructure and the company’s logistical means to supply the railway network.

　　This collaboration will promote the achievement of one of the objectives set in the Hydrogen Roadmap approved by the Government in October 202 – to have two lines of hydrogen-powered commercial trains by 2030.

　　The Vittal One renewable hydrogen-powered train

　　The Vittal One renewable hydrogen-powered train uses electric motors that obtain energy thanks to hydrogen cells, which turn this fuel into an electric current. This type of train can run on non-electrified tracks and without the need to install a catenary or make any other type of modifications. As such, it is a mobility solution that doesn’t need long additional developments. It also benefits in particular those regions connected to secondary rail lines that have not yet been electrified, by allowing a quick and easy implementation of decarbonised mobility.

　　Repsol will use organic waste to generate biogas at its industrial centres, which will be used to produce renewable hydrogen. It has announced the installation of two electrolyzers with a capacity of 100 MW in Cartagena and Petronor that will supply its complexes with renewable hydrogen. In addition, the multi-energy company fosters and promotes large ecosystems across the hydrogen value chain, where supply and demand are adjusted, and technological development, investment, and public-private sector collaboration come together. This type of initiative puts Spain at the forefront of renewable hydrogen production in southern Europe.
