In the UK, ITM Power has signed an agreement with Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) to collaborate on sustainable transportation and infrastructure, specifically in the field of green energies, such as green hydrogen and its derivatives. DB is one of the largest transport companies and railway operators in Europe and is committed to being climate-neutral by 2040. A key element of its decarbonization strategy is the adoption of alternative drives and usage from green energy sources. Plans include converting DB’s fleet of trains, buses, and trucks into low and zero-emission vehicles, as well as building new infrastructure required for operating and maintaining the converted fleets using green energy and green fuels. The collaboration between ITM and DB will deepen the understanding of each other’s technologies designed to decarbonize rail transport, mobility solutions and related services. The partners will also exchange knowledge on the use of green hydrogen across locomotive, bus and truck fleets while exploring potential partnerships in green energy, transport, mobility, and infrastructure services, including the evaluation of refueling infrastructure.
