The Greener Railway.....(Railway Gazette) 23rd May 2012

Register for free to take part in our next live and interactive debate 'The Greener Railway', which will be streamed from the London Stock Exchange on Wednesday June 17 at 13.00 (BST).
Energy use and the environment is a hot topic and our panel of industry experts will aim to address the following key issues:



•
What are the secure energy sources of the future? Is rail responsible for sourcing its own green energy?

•
How does rail make best use of its energy? What techniques are available to store and re-use energy, both onboard and at stations?

•
How is traction technology evolving to meet an energy-scarce future?  What benefits are offered by alternative fuels, permanent-magnet motors and composite materials?

•
How do operators and suppliers best respond to stricter noise and emissions standards?

•
What can we learn from existing research programmes and case studies such as Sweden’s Gröne Taget?

•
How far do load factors, service frequency and passenger amenities affect the carbon footprint? Is a green train simply a busy train?
