Appalachian Energy Center to co-host hydrogen railway conference in United Kingdom
BOONE – The increasing price of diesel fuel, the need to reduce carbon emissions, and the high cost for railway electrification require alternatives to diesel and electric trains. The long-term solution to these challenges is the development of hydrogen-based propulsion system for railways.
In partnership with Appalachian State University’s Energy Center, the University of Birmingham’s Centre for Railway Research and Education will host the 7th International Hydrail Conference July 3-4 in Birmingham, U.K. The event is dedicated to facilitating the transition to hydrogen-powered railways.
The Birmingham, U.K., conference will focus on the current status of projects around the world; technology innovations; and environmental, climate, and economic drivers of the transition to a hydrogen-powered railway. More information about hydrail technology and the upcoming conference is available at www.hydrail.org.

Great that Appalachian State University’s Energy Center is supporting the Hydrail Conference. Who at ASU is involved? I'm interested in the current use of LNG as a transitional fuel to replace diesel fuel.
