The MOST-H2 project is assessing the feasibility of metal-organic frameworks for hydrogen storage in heavy-duty mobility. It focuses on low-cost, cryo-adsorptive hydrogen storage for hydrogen fuel cell electric trains to provide a zero-emission alternative to diesel.

Partners FEN Research GmbH in Austria and Italferr SpA in Italy are conducting a feasibility study for railway and road transport. The HyTrain project was initiated to address risks associated with hydrogen train implementation, receiving funding from the Austrian Climate and Energy Fund in 2020. The Zillertalbahn, operating diesel-hydraulic locomotives in Austria, consumes 0.8 million liters of diesel annually, emitting 2.2 million kg of CO2.
