Overview
Following the previous Workshop on Infrastructure’s energy efficiency;
This workshop has focused on the projects developed by IMs to improve energy efficiency and decarbonisation of the traction energy and to accompany railway undertakings to reduce the use of diesel traction. Thus, this workshop has also focused on the energy storage innovations and their best combination with the railway network.
Finally, actors from the energy market have also been invited to talk about their point of view in the frame of optimising the electricity network with Railways for renewable energy.
You will find below, the attached Invitation and the planned topics to be presented during the workshop.
