Empowering Stakeholders with Data, Technology, and Sustainability Solutions

The current economic climate has created significant obstacles for infrastructure upgrades; the rail industry must find innovative ways to offer competitive services to increase ridership in an increasingly competitive transport environment and demonstrate its ability to integrate sustainability with operational efficiency by ensuring their infrastructures are equipped and adapting for climate change. The pressure to attract more commuters while dealing with rising operational costs due to energy price hikes and supply chain limitations has never been greater.

The challenge now is to develop rail as the preferred mode of transport, promote the wider impacts of social mobility that rail offers offering a compelling alternative to road and air travel, driving investment in sustainable mobility.

Returning for the second edition, The Rail Net Zero Summit is the Rail sector's premium platform for discussing the application of Net Zero targets in the industry. Bringing together key players in the rail industry to explore practical solutions to climate challenges, decarbonization, and sustainability in rail. Through focused discussions and expert insights, the summit will provide actionable takeaways for rail operators, infrastructure owners, and supply chain professionals working toward net-zero targets

How do we procure energy? And what are the unique challenges procuring energy in the rail sector and incorporating renewable energy purchasing generally”

Head of Sustainability, Eurostar

So one of the fundamental problems is there isn't a strategy, and therefore an agreed map, how do we agree on strategy for decarbonization

Senior Technical Advisor, RIA

We have the problem that in our centres in our work centres. They have more or less 20-30 years, they are 20-30 years old. So we have to implement new solutions, new energy solutions, not only renewable solutions”
