The H2RSH project will cover a corridor of 357 kilometers from Cirebon, West Java, to Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Tangerang, Banten.
“The new railway will cost less to build than a conventional system, at $10 million per mile, compared with $36 million per mile”, said Tundjung Inderawan, Director General of railways at the Ministry of Transportation.
Like Maglev, the H2RSH railway is a system levitated above the tracks by magnetism, but it also simultaneously provides structural conduit for the distribution of electricity, potable water, liquid waste, fiber optics, hydrogen, oxygen, and where applicable, other liquid and vapor based fuels, according to Interstate Traveler Company, creating the concept of the technology.
Solar panels inlaid in the track would provide the energy to move the trains and convert water to hydrogen to be stored for future use as fuel. The line would form the backbone of the government's US$500 billion West Java Economic Corridor, which also includes the construction of a new international airport and seaport.
“The speed of this train will reach 400 kilometers per hour, so a trip from Cirebon to the Soekarno-Hatta Airport would only take some 1.5 hours,” said Iwa Karniwa Chief of West Java Regional Investment Coordinating Agency (BKPMD).
CAEDZ Eco Synesis Group heads a consortium including the German engineering company Obermeyer Planen +Beraten GMBH, Asian Energy Ltd., the Malaysian engineering company Pembinaan Aktif Gemilang Sdn Bhd, Aon Risk Services, Aqua-PhyD, Aruna Solutions, Asian Energy Ltd., Tricap Group, Copernicus International, eCompass Group, Fidelity National Financial, Global Green Management, McGladrey & Pullen, Modular Integrated Technologies, Interstate Traveler and Tum Geotechnical Research.
The hydrogen-powered maglev train was created by Justin Sutton, the founder of Interstate Traveler.
Construction of the 357 km line, Inderawan said, is expected to take two years.
