Kamfanin sufurin Faransa Alstom ya bayyana jirgin farko na hydrogen a duniya ranar Talatar da ta gabata a Berlin, Jamus. 'Coradia iLint' zai buga layukan dogo a arewacin Jamus akan hanyar Buxtehude-Bremervörde-Bremerhaven-Cuxhaven a cikin watan Disamba na shekara mai zuwa.
Jirgin kasa-da-kyauta na CO2 yana ba da madadin jirgi mai tushen dizal akan layin lantarki. Ana amfani da wannan ta hanyar kwayar makamashin hydrogen tare da fitarwa guda daya da ake fitarwa daga takaitaccen ruwa da hayaki. Tare da cikakken tanki, Coradia iLint zai iya yin tafiya tsakanin kilomita 600 zuwa 800 a cikin saurin 140 km / h tare da damar fasinjoji 300, gami da masu zama 150.

Alstom yana alfahari da ƙaddamar da wani sabon abu mai ban mamaki a fannin sufuri kyauta daga fitowar CO2 wanda zai kammala jigilar jiragen kasa na yankin Coradia. Yana nuna ikonmu na aiki tare da abokan cinikinmu da haɓaka jirgin ƙasa cikin shekaru biyu kawai.
Wutar lantarki don jan hankali da kayan aiki akan jirgin shine wanda aka samar da shi daga kwayar mai na hydrogen, wanda aka adana a cikin batirin lithium-ion kuma aka warke lokacin da aka taka birki. Ana adana hydrogen azaman gas a cikin tankuna a saman jirgin kuma ana samun kuzari ne ta hanyar aikin sunadarai yayin da hydrogen ya haɗu da oxygen a cikin iska. Baya ga hayakin hayaki, jirgin yana kuma ba da kwanciyar hankali a kan hanyoyin jirgin kasa.
A lokacin hanzari, makamashi daga tantanin mai shine babban samar da makamashi. Yayinda yake cikin hanzari na saurin hanzari, za'a sake cajin batirin ta wani abu ta hanyar mai sauya mataimaki. Yayin birki, da kwayoyin mai suna kashewa gaba daya kuma ana samun kuzarin ne daga karfin kuzarin abin hawa.
Wannan jirgin za a kera shi ne a babbar masana'antar Alstom a Salzgitter, Jamus. Don sauƙaƙe amfani da wannan nau'in jiragen ƙirar hydrogen, Alstom zai samar da ba jiragen kawai ba, har ma ababen more rayuwa da kulawa na motocin.
