Live webinar by the Railway Industry Association (RIA) for Decarbonising Transport Week.
Diesel trains represent the majority of the UK rail industry carbon emissions. The proven solution is electrification but that has significant up-front costs. Emerging technologies such as alternative fuels and battery or hydrogen trains will also have a role to play alongside electrification. This webinar will outline the challenges and opportunities in decarbonising rail and the role of modal shift in supporting wider transport decarbonisation. Following a scene setting presentation by David Clarke there will then be a panel discussion and Q&A
