Network Rail<\/strong><\/a>, working with rail and energy partners Freightliner and GeoPura, has transported hydrogen for the first time on Britain’s rail network, marking a major step forward for both the rail and energy sectors.<\/p>\n\n

The milestone was achieved yesterday (Wednesday 3 December) at Network Rail’s Test Tracks* site in Tuxford, where freight operator Freightliner hauled a train of gas containers from Doncaster to High Marnham \u2013 marking Britain’s first shipment of hydrogen by rail.<\/p>\n\n

It was part of a rail and energy industry innovation event showcasing several hydrogen initiatives. This included the first re-engineered hydrogen-powered shunting locomotive \u2013 seen as a step towards replacing diesel \u2013 another milestone towards the rail industry’s goal of becoming net zero. The event also demonstrated HPU hydrogen-powered generators<\/strong><\/a>, lighting towers and support vehicles.<\/p>\n\n

Network Rail’s site at Tuxford runs all the way to High Marnham, where it sits adjacent to HyMarnham Power<\/a>,<\/strong> the UK’s largest green hydrogen production facility operated by GeoPura and JG Pears<\/strong><\/a>. Built on the site of a former coal-fired power station, HyMarnham Power is one of the world’s first rail-connected hydrogen production facilities, and Network Rail’s Tuxford site will be the world’s first net-zero railway testing facility.<\/p>\n\n

Currently, hydrogen is transported by road. This breakthrough marks a major step\u00a0towards the rail network becoming a ready-made hydrogen distribution system, a rolling pipeline, with\u00a0connections to all major industrial and urban centres across Britain \u2013 proving the\u00a0practical capability of rail to transport hydrogen at scale. Hydrogen will also be\u00a0utilised to decarbonise wider rail operations, from construction to ongoing\u00a0maintenance and off-grid operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Leevan Finney, Network Rail\u2019s engineering services director, said<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n

\n
\n

“Rail is the greenest form of long-distance transport, and we, as an industry, are working hard to decarbonise transport and achieve net zero. For 200 years the railway has connected communities and major industry across Britain. The railway has the potential to be a strategic hydrogen distribution network in the future, as it has been for energy for many years. <\/p>\n<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/blockquote>\n\n<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n

\n

By bringing together rail and energy innovators here at Test Tracks in Tuxford, we’re accelerating Britain’s journey to net zero and showing how rail and energy sectors can work together to deliver sustainable transport and energy distribution.”<\/p>\n<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n

Dave Penney, Managing Director, Rail Services & Heavy Haul at Freightliner, said:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

\n

“Today’s event at Tuxford Test Tracks highlights the significant opportunities rail offers for the UK’s future. Freightliner is proud to be the first Freight Operating Company to transport hydrogen on the rail network. Leveraging our extensive expertise, we safely and securely move a wide range of bulk materials and hazardous goods for our customers. <\/p>\n<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n

\n

“Rail is already the most sustainable choice for long-distance freight, producing 76% fewer carbon emissions compared to diesel road transport.”<\/p>\n<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n

Andrew Cunningham, CEO, GeoPura, said:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

\n

“Hydrogen has a vital role in removing diesel from Britain’s rail network, providing zero-emission power where electrification alone cannot reach. Excitingly, we’re also showing that the rail network is a great way of transporting clean fuel to connected customers who can’t get the power they need from the traditional distribution grid.<\/p>\n<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n

\n

“By supplying locally produced green hydrogen from HyMarnham Power to this first-of-its-kind rail application, we’re showing that clean fuel, proven technology and existing rail infrastructure work together right now to cut carbon and improve air quality across the network. GeoPura is delighted to support Network Rail and its partners as they show what the future of a net-zero railway looks like in practice.”<\/p>\n<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n

The event at the Test Tracks site in Tuxford was held in partnership with organisations across the rail and energy sectors, including Freightliner, HyMarnham Power, GeoPura, Vanguard Sustainable Transport Solutions, Enspired Consulting, Rail Operations Group, Toyota UK and JCB.<\/p>\n\n

*Test Tracks are the longest railway testing facilities in Europe, with over 40 miles (62 kilometres) of track across two diverse sites \u2013 Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire and Tuxford in Nottinghamshire.<\/p>\n\n
