Cleaner Alternative Fuels for Non-Electrified Rural and Suburban Railway Operations
Adopting cleaner fuels for non-electrified rail is complex. Explore the sustainable alternatives through case studies and an in-depth analysis.
What’s in this Report?
Electrifying lines that run diesel trains reduces pollution and carbon emissions, but this takes large investments in infrastructure and an expensive connection to the power grid.
Explore the alternatives for non-electrified operations including batteries, supercapacitors, hydrogen fuel cell systems, and biodiesel. As well as international case studies, see how policy, location, and technology are key considerations in the decision-making process.
