Linde (LIN) Inaugurates Hydrogen Refueling System in Germany
Linde (LIN - Free Report) recently unveiled the world’s first hydrogen refueling system for passenger trains. The location of the refueling system – having a total daily capacity of 1,600 kg of hydrogen – is in Bremervörde, Germany.
Linde boasted that its hydrogen refueling system is capable of refueling 14 hydrogen-powered passenger trains. This will make it possible that on a single refueling, each train will have the ability to run 1,000 km without emissions. With this development, the existing diesel-powered trains will get replaced by new hydrogen trains.
The development is signaling Linde’s strong initiative in playing a significant role in decarbonizing transport in Europe. The innovative technologies of Linde supporting this development are thus creating a blueprint for the public transport system, which is emission-free, across the globe.

(IOSP - Free Report) and Koppers Holdings Inc. (KOP - Free Report) . Koppers carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), Albemarle and Innospec sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
