Running on fuel-cell technology

This article talks about the use and the application of fuel-cell technology. A fuel cell is a device that uses a source of fuel, such as hydrogen, and an oxidant to create electricity from an electro chemical process. A fuel cell converts chemical energy to electrical energy.

Germany has adopted this technology. The launch of hydrogen-powered train services in Germany is all about the article. Two Coradia iLint trains are now running passenger services in Lower Saxony with the use of fuel-cell technology. Sources say that, there are plans to induct atleast 14 more such "Hydrail" trains in Germany.The use of  fuel-cell technology is much more efficient and the usage of renewable energy is made possible as renewables are cleaner than thermal power sources and they also tend to produce excess energy at specific times.
