Austrian Railway scraps hydrogen plans.
The Zillertal railway has scrapped its hydrogen plans after a independent study found that a electric approach using batteries, overhead lines, or a hybrid version would be much less expensive and lead to faster decarbonization. The Vienna University of Technology analysed 6 different drivetrains while the state of Tyrol has outlawed the use of overhead lines on the entire route. Batteries and partial overhead line use were found to be more cost effective than hydrogen.
Last year, Stadler, admitted that hydrogen will almost always be more expensive than battery trains due to the replacement costs of the stacks(3yr) and maintenance on the high pressure storage tanks. Those comments came after the first hydrogen railway in lower Saxony announced they would only buy battery trains due to the operating costs of their hydrogen trains.
The primary reason batteries cost less than hydrogen in Central Europe is that railways there are rarely less than 80km from a station with an overhead charging line, which can be used to charge the battery with 15,000 volts — 15 minutes of which is enough to power the train for a further 50-150km.
