Began operating trains that go north of Antwerp in Belgium, since Monday, thanks to the energy produced by the local 16 000 solar panel, it said those responsible for this pioneering project in Europe.
He left the first "green train" Flemish city, in the morning, heading north towards the border with the Netherlands. Nothing distinguishes it from other trains, crammed in with Mokturath students and staff.
However, over 10 km, the train's engine consumes the energy produced by 16 thousand light board, and recently placed on the roof of a tunnel for the railway, dubbed "sun tunnel", instead of using the energy produced in nuclear power plants or gas stations.
And cross the line is very fast trains between Paris and Amsterdam via Brussels, in the protected nature.
To reduce environmental damage, the roads were covered tiles, to form a tunnel length of 3.6 km, and where the class as an ideal surface to receive solar panels.
These panels cover an area of 50 thousand square meters which is equal to eight football fields, to produce 3300 megawatts, which is equal to the annual consumption rate of about one thousand families.
Said Frederick Sakra spokesman Foundation Aernfrabil railway operator in Belgium, the electricity produced will be used to provide "the infrastructure of the railways" and feed the trains traditional and high-speed, which is on the line north-south Antwerp, with Stephen de Tolenyer, president of Infinity, Self idea of the project, which cost 15.6 million euros, he was "using the electricity produced in its place, remove the loss in energy and transportation costs."
Over the year, will not produce "sun tunnel" but the electricity needed for the work of the trains going in Belgium ... during the day.
The head of the Infiniti "There are not many of the tunnels Knfq Antwerp, but we can use the roofs of the stations and the vast area that stretches near the railway."
