The UBC School of Engineering Sustainable Transport Safety Research Lab (STS) propose to develop Canada's first Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) hydrail locomotive. Hydrail employs an on-board, low-pressure hydrogen storage/delivery system integrated with a hydrogen fuel cell (HFC)/battery hybrid power system. It will replace traditional diesel-electric internal combustion engines (ICEs), and transform Canada into a globally dominant hydrogen-based technology and energy provider and user in pursuit of its Investing in Canada Plan, Transport 2030 and Net Zero 2050 goals. The global hydrogen storage market is expected to reach US 1.13 B by 2026 with a CAGR of 8.3%, which is roughly 8% of the total market. Several innovative outcomes of the research proposed in this Alliance grant application include:1. Low-pressure, on-board H2 storage and delivery system that extends operating locomotive range,2. Computer-assisted power control module that mimics responsiveness of traditional locomotive units,3. System integration that allows hydrail units to seamlessly emulate & pair with diesel-electric units.The on-board, low-pressure hydrogen storage/delivery system is being researched in partnership with Hydrogen in Motion Inc. (H2M). H2M is a Vancouver based organization unique in its development of low-pressure hydrogen storage technology based on nanomaterials (adsorbent based). It makes H2M technology extremely light, portable, & shapeable to meet application needs, a major advantage over traditional high-pressure storage. H2M will be a disruptor as the key to solving financial and technical barriers to hydrogen transformation. This will make H2M's storage technology popular not only in ZEV hydrail locomotives, but in other hydrogen technology sectors, thus expanding their market reach. SRY is our other partner in this research, also based in Vancouver, and have been motivated to retrofit their fleet of 31 older locomotives to reduce GHGs and emission fees. This research partnership is proposed to take 5 years, with results shared widely through our existing research, industry, and regulatory networks.

UBC 工程学院可持续运输安全研究实验室 (STS) 提议开发加拿大第一台零排放车辆 (ZEV) 液压机车。 Hydrail 采用车载低压氢气存储/输送系统，与氢燃料电池 (HFC)/电池混合动力系统集成。 它将取代传统的柴电内燃机 (ICE)，并将加拿大转变为全球主导的氢基技术和能源供应商和用户，以实现其“加拿大投资计划”、“2030 年交通运输”和“2050 年净零排放”目标。 预计到2026年，全球储氢市场将达到1.13B，复合年增长率为8.3%，约占总市场的8%。 本次联盟资助申请中提出的几项创新研究成果包括： 1．低压车载氢气存储和输送系统，可扩展机车的运行范围2。模仿传统机车单元响应能力的计算机辅助动力控制模块，3．系统集成允许液压轨装置与柴电装置无缝仿真和配对。正在与 Hydrogen in Motion Inc. (H2M) 合作研究车载低压氢气存储/输送系统。 H2M 是一家总部位于温哥华的组织，在开发基于纳米材料（基于吸附剂）的低压储氢技术方面独树一帜。它使 H2M 技术极其轻便、便携且可塑形，可以满足应用需求，这是相对于传统高压存储的主要优势。 H2M将成为颠覆者，成为解决氢能转型资金和技术障碍的关键。 这将使 H2M 的存储技术不仅在 ZEV 氢铁机车中流行，而且在其他氢技术领域也流行，从而扩大其市场范围。 SRY 是我们这项研究的另一个合作伙伴，总部也位于温哥华，并积极改造其由 31 辆旧机车组成的车队，以减少温室气体和排放费。 这项研究合作预计需要 5 年时间，通过我们现有的研究、行业和监管网络广泛共享成果。
