    Recently, Belgium's first train with wind power as the main power was officially put into operation, which will lead the era of
    "wind trains".

    The first train reportedly runs from Hingelom, Limburg province, running on electricity from a wind farm next to the railway; With seven wind turbines, two-thirds of the electricity is used by trains and the remaining one-third is used in the area, and it is reported that the electricity produced in the park can reduce carbon emissions
    by 15,000 tons per year.
    Belgium plans to gradually increase the number of wind turbines
    to 25 in the future.
    The local plan is to gradually increase the number of wind trains, with the ultimate goal of 170, which will account for 5% of the total number of trains in Belgium and contribute to reducing carbon emissions
