Let us imagine, for a moment, a #CarbonFree #SteamEngine
A #Locomotive , for pulling a #train.
We would be doing this for #fun wouldn't we, so #efficiency is not a major concern, and even #effectiveness is not the main constraint.
First off and really easy is what the #LondonUnderground, the#Tube, did in early days - make the boiler and firebox rather hot, use that to generate steam to propel the thing undergound, heat it up again when you get back into fresh air.
No need to use #Coal now.

🇩🇪 Germany is on track to stop using #coal by around 2032, much earlier than the 2038 deadline. Rising carbon costs and changing #energy markets are making coal less profitable, and experts say those market forces are now pushing coal out faster than government laws.

Japan's coal-power generation is rising while natural gas-fired output falls, as conflict in the Middle East chokes supplies of the less-polluting fossil fuel and sends prices higher. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/05/13/japan-coal-power-generation-rise/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #coal #energy #utilities #middleeast

“Fossil power’s global decline has begun”
“Rapid solar and wind scaling is actively displacing thermal [electricity] generation. OECD fossil generation has peaked while systematic decommissioning of coal-fired power plants is under way across most member states. This shift is now extending beyond the OECD”
