What Is The Future Of Sustainable Rail Traction? 

With the rising cost of fuel and pressures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the rail community faces its biggest 

challenge yet: to find a cost effective, energy efficient and sustainable alternative to diesel oil. Although rail is seen as 

the most environmentally sustainable mode of transport, operators fear that future margins may be squeezed due to 

the price of fuel, moreover, to safeguard their long-term investments in traction, an accurate and reliable assessment of 

the fuel market is crucial… 

The Future Fuels Rail Traction Summit will dissect the current fuel market into its most essential proponents, 

gathering global rail operators, rolling stock manufacturers and fuel providers to tackle both imminent and long-term 

problems facing the rail industry in assessing the future provision of traction power. The summit will be an innovative 

forum for industry experts to share practical results from pilot-tests, pioneering research and industry debate on 

the next step for rail fuel. 

Addressing The Short-Term Challenges: How To Reduce Energy Consumption Today 

Part 1 will tackle the immediate drivers for change; how operational management of train operations can reduce 

energy usage by utilizing the latest technologies for train management. Our expert speakers will also provide a 

comprehensive assessment of the most imminent techniques including Regenerative Breaking, Trackside Energy 

Storage and Driver Training. 

The initial sessions will also assess what the industry wants from new fuel in terms of cost, energy efficiency, 

sustainability and environmental impact. How will the most immediate alternative fuel, Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel stand 

up to scrutiny from the premier researchers in the field? 

Also, is biofuel the best short-term solution? Where is the biofuel supply coming from? Can it deliver the required 

reduction in emissions? Is it sustainable? Will this fuel be compatible with existing rolling stock in the long run? 

Our global panel of experts will unveil up to the minute results from biofuel trials; assessing the effect of varying blends 

on engine function, ways of minimizing the impact on operations during the transition to alternative fuel use and the 

decision criteria for examining biofuels’ suitability for rolling stock. 

Looking To The Longer Term: Can Alternative Technologies Deliver? 

Part 2 of the summit provides a comprehensive assessment of the most advanced new fuels being considered for rail 

use. With such uncertainty surrounding the future of fuel provision, global railways and researchers will bring up-to-date 

findings on feasibility studies using Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Technology- clarifying its potential as the most promising fuel 

of the future and asking the most pressing questions: Can the technology deliver? Is it safe to carry on board? Is it 

sustainable? 

The later sessions will also provide case studies on: Hybrid Vehicles as a short to medium-term option, the suitability 

of Solar Power and Methane Biogas for traction and clarity on the global potential for Electrification as a clean 

energy alternative despite huge costs and logistical barriers. 

All of these questions will be answered with a comprehensive assessment of the most viable fuels available 

today and in the near future to provide rail operators with the tools and information needed to minimize their 

risk of investment and attain lasting functionality from their engines and stock.
