Analysis and Prospect of Hydrogen Energy Application in the Field of Rail Transit

Abstract

Objective Hydrogen energy becomes one of the solutions for energy transition in rail transit due to its characteristics such as abundant reserves, ecological friendliness, and efficient transition. At the initial stage of hydrogen energy application in rail transit vehicles, it is necessary to analyze the existing research status and put forward application suggestion. Method The application background and characteristics of hydrogen energy are described, and the application status of hydrogen energy in rail transit vehicles at home and abroad is introduced. On this basis, the key technical challenges of hydrogen energy application in the field of rail transit are extracted, and their research status is analyzed. Then, according to the application and research status, the urgent problems to be solved and overcome in the application of hydrogen energy in the field of rail transit are summarized, and relevant suggestions are put forward. Result & Conclusion Driven by both the application promotion and the technological innovation, hydrogen energy has a broad application prospect in the field of rail transit. The industrial policy, standard system and application technology should be continuously promoted for the further application of hydrogen energy in rail transit field, helping energy transition in rail transit.
