📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
Project will focus on the energy utilised by trains in Scotland, with an aim to discontinue diesel-fuelled trains by 2035. H2H will assess hydrogen and battery trains and perform a comparison study with complete electrification.
The assessment will be done on two rural lines in Scotland and the results will lead towards the development of a feasibility study, with the potential for a full scale demonstration project.
This study will be spearheaded by Ricardo, in partnership with Scottish Power, Network Rail and the University of Leeds. At first, the projects will obtain money for a two-month ‘Discovery’ stage, with a smaller selection proceeding to a more detailed ‘Alpha’ feasibility study.
