Hydrogen has a modest but potentially critical role to play in decarbonising the rail network, where electrification is not suitable or cannot be delivered in time to contribute towards meeting Net Zero. Whilst trials and demonstration projects are underway in hydrogen trains, there is no clear plan to develop the role of hydrogen in this sector. Some countries, such as Austria and Germany, are already using hydrogen trains. In response to this Report, the Government should set out the lessons it has learned from the use of hydrogen trains overseas and how it will use this information in trials of hydrogen trains in the UK.
