Canadian Pacific Kansas City and ATCO EnPower, a division of Canadian Utilities Ltd., has completed construction of hydrogen production and refueling facilities in Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta.
The facilities are now fully operational, CPKC officials said today in a press release.
As part of its hydrogen locomotive program, CPKC is retrofitting a number of diesel locomotives with hydrogen fuel cells so they can operate without directly generating emissions.
"These fueling facilities are an important part of advancing the ongoing testing of our hydrogen locomotives and advancing the development of our industry-leading program working toward a lower carbon transportation future," said Kyle Mulligan, CPKC's assistant vice president of operations technology.
ATCO EnPower provided engineering, procurement and construction services for each of the dedicated, on-site hydrogen locomotive refueling stations and has signed an agreement to operate the facilities.
By harnessing the power of hydrogen, CPKC aims to create a cleaner, more efficient mode of freight transportation that can serve as a model for the rail industry with support from ATCO EnPower, CPKC officials said.
