Subject | Locomotive Diesels to Hydrogen as the Combustible Fuel? |
Comment | CARB- Thank you for the opportunity to provide a comment. I noticed there was no mention of converting the existing diesel engines to run on hydrogen as the combustible fuel. Is that an option? DOE HFTO just announced funding (Apr 24 newsletter) for studying hydrogen combustion, its impact on materials, emissions, etc. Feb 22 HFTO did an H2ICE webinar where they noted every engine maker and supporting suppliers have an engine in various stages of design, companies like Cummins, Toyota, Yamaha & Mazda have H2ICE engines in production. An American Class I loco manuf'r has already hired 2 National Labs to begin the process of converting older diesels to H2ICE. H2ICE can be made zero emission. H2ICE can run on a dirty H2 gas mix, so H2 sales won't be reduced as H2 quality stabilizes as the infrastructure grows. I'm happy to help CARB with H2ICE in any way possible. Thank you for this opportunity. Sincerely, Krystyna Kubran 352 Innovation, LLC Putting the ENGINE in ENGINEERING |
