Re: “Romania approves plan to purchase Hydrogen trains”, dated 22 JUL, 2022.

On first read it appears that Romanian authorities are forward thinking and environmentally oriented.

More focused, two questions come to mind:
(1) Does the nation have capability to supply a fleet of trains with a steady stream hydrogen fuel?
(2) To what degree will the A7- Moldova TOLL ROAD project (EU-funded)
degrade or cancel out the environmental gains made by use of hydrogen-fueled trains?
