What Is The Future Of Sustainable Rail Traction?<br />
With the rising cost of fuel and pressures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the rail community faces its biggest<br />
challenge yet: to find a cost effective, energy efficient and sustainable alternative to diesel oil. Although rail is seen as<br />
the most environmentally sustainable mode of transport, operators fear that future margins may be squeezed due to<br />
the price of fuel, moreover, to safeguard their long-term investments in traction, an accurate and reliable assessment of<br />
the fuel market is crucial…<br />
The Future <strong><strong>Fuel</strong>s</strong> Rail Traction Summit will dissect the current fuel market into its most essential proponents,<br />
gathering global rail operators, rolling stock manufacturers and fuel providers to tackle both imminent and long-term<br />
problems facing the rail industry in assessing the future provision of traction power. The summit will be an innovative<br />
forum for industry experts to share practical results from pilot-tests, pioneering research and industry debate on<br />
the next step for rail fuel.<br />
Addressing The Short-Term Challenges: How To Reduce <strong>Energy</strong> Consumption Today<br />
Part 1 will tackle the immediate drivers for change; how operational management of train operations can reduce<br />
energy usage by utilizing the latest technologies for train management. Our expert speakers will also provide a<br />
comprehensive assessment of the most imminent techniques including Regenerative Breaking, Trackside <strong>Energy</strong><br />
Storage and Driver Training.<br />
The initial sessions will also assess what the industry wants from new fuel in terms of cost, energy efficiency,<br />
sustainability and environmental impact. How will the most immediate alternative fuel, Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel stand<br />
up to scrutiny from the premier researchers in the field?<br />
Also, is biofuel the best short-term solution? Where is the biofuel supply coming from? Can it deliver the required<br />
reduction in emissions? Is it sustainable? Will this fuel be compatible with existing rolling stock in the long run?<br />
Our global panel of experts will unveil up to the minute results from biofuel trials; assessing the effect of varying blends<br />
on engine function, ways of minimizing the impact on operations during the transition to alternative fuel use and the<br />
decision criteria for examining biofuels’ suitability for rolling stock.<br />
Looking To The Longer Term: Can <strong>Alternative</strong> Technologies Deliver?<br />
Part 2 of the summit provides a comprehensive assessment of the most advanced new fuels being considered for rail<br />
use. With such uncertainty surrounding the future of fuel provision, global railways and researchers will bring up-to-date<br />
findings on feasibility studies using Hydrogen <strong>Fuel</strong>-<strong>Cell</strong> Technology- clarifying its potential as the most promising fuel<br />
of the future and asking the most pressing questions: Can the technology deliver? Is it safe to carry on board? Is it<br />
sustainable?<br />
The later sessions will also provide case studies on: Hybrid Vehicles as a short to medium-term option, the suitability<br />
of Solar Power and Methane Biogas for traction and clarity on the global potential for Electrification as a clean<br />
energy alternative despite huge costs and logistical barriers.<br />
All of these questions will be answered with a comprehensive assessment of the most viable fuels available<br />
today and in the near future to provide rail operators with the tools and information needed to minimize their<br />
risk of investment and attain lasting functionality from their engines and stock.<br />
