Hydrogen may be one of the main sources of energy of tomorrow. However, transporting it by rail while still in its gaseous state remains a significant challenge. An international consortium led by DB Cargo has developed a new container that might open up new possibilities for the sector.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The multiple element gas container (MEGC) is \u201cthe first 500 bar container approved for rail transport with an increased load capacity of 1,223 kg\u201d, DB Cargo said. The German rail freight group is participating in the project through its chemical branch DB Cargo BTT. German companies Infraserv H\u00f6chst and Fraunhofer IML are also part of the project, together with Norwegian Hexagon Purus and Swiss Endress+Hauser.<\/p>\n
