CPKC, ATCO EnPower build hydrogen production and refuelling stations in Alberta

Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) and ATCO EnPower have concluded the construction of two hydrogen production and refuelling stations in Alberta, Canada.

The facilities, located in Calgary and Edmonton, are now a fully operational part of CPKC’s Hydrogen Locomotive Programme, which retrofits diesel locomotives with hydrogen fuel cells for emission-free operation.

ATCO EnPower, a division of Canadian Utilities, provided engineering, procurement, and construction services for the stations and will also manage their operation.

ATCO EnPower projects and operations executive vice president Mark Brown said: “We are proud to announce the completion of the two hydrogen production and refuelling stations for CPKC.

“This advancement marks significant progress in utilising hydrogen as a fuel source for commercial transportation and reflects ATCO EnPower’s commitment to building a sustainable future by providing innovative energy solutions for our customers.”

Each site features a 1MW electrolyser, compression, storage, and dispensing systems designed specifically for locomotive refuelling.
