Однако водородное топливо стоит дорого, что определяет общую высокую стоимость эксплуатации такого вида транспорта (примерно на 60% выше, чем подвижного состава с дизелем и электропередачей), также следует отметить сложную конструкцию, дороговизну водородных резервуаров и потенциальную опасность взрыва и пожара при авариях и крушениях. Хранение же водорода в виде металлогидридных соединений сопряжено с рядом технологических сложностей. Водородному транспорту свойственен меньший запас хода по сравнению с дизель-поездами и существенно меньшее время работы маневрового тепловоза. Высокая стоимость топливных элементов вынуждает делать подвижной состав гибридным с аккумуляторной батареей.При использовании сжатого водорода при гибридной схеме локомотив может использоваться только в качестве маневрового. Из-за малой массы силовой установки может потребоваться установка балласта даже при наличии аккумуляторных батарей для обеспечения реализации силы тяги по сцеплению колес с рельсами.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The use of hydrogen fuel in railway transport helps improve the environmental situation (this is particularly true about the so-called “green” hydrogen obtained by electrolysis using unconventional and renewable energy sources), reduce noise levels in comparison to diesel locomotives and diesel trains, and provide increased security and efficiency compared to locomotives with internal combustion engines. However, hydrogen fuel is expensive, resulting in the overall high cost of operating this type of transport (approximately 60% higher than rolling stock with diesel and electric transmission). What is also worth noting is the complex design, high cost of hydrogen tanks, and potential risk of explosion and fi re in case of accidents and derailments. Storing hydrogen in the form of metal hydride compounds involves a number of technological difficulties. Hydrogen-powered vehicles have a shorter cruising range compared to diesel trains and a considerably shorter operating time for a shunting locomotive. The high cost of fuel cells necessitates the production of hybrid rolling stock with batteries.When the hybrid scheme uses compressed hydrogen, a locomotive can only be used as a shunter. Due to a low weight of the power unit, it may be necessary to install ballast even where batteries are available, in order to provide the traction force for wheel-rail adhesion.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>водородное топливо</kwd><kwd>экология</kwd><kwd>гибридный локомотив</kwd><kwd>аккумуляторная батарея</kwd><kwd>декарбонизация</kwd><kwd>железнодорожный транспорт</kwd><kwd>электрификация</kwd><kwd>топливные элементы</kwd><kwd>электролиз</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>hydrogen fuel</kwd><kwd>ecology</kwd><kwd>hybrid locomotive</kwd><kwd>battery</kwd><kwd>decarbonisation</kwd><kwd>railway transport</kwd><kwd>electrifi cation</kwd><kwd>fuel cells</kwd><kwd>electrolysis</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Arcos J.M.M., Santos D.M.F.
