The future of rail freight just got a whole lot cleaner. We've teamed up with industry leader Aurizon and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to develop the world's first battery electric tender (BET). Here's the breakdown: - Cleaner Rail Transport: Alta's BET enables diesel locomotives to operate as hybrids, significantly reducing emissions. - Efficiency & Range: The BET extends the range of diesel locomotives by up to 400km and harnesses regenerative energy. - Cost-Effective Sustainability: Businesses can achieve their sustainability goals without prematurely replacing their entire diesel fleets. - Collaboration for Change: This project showcases the power of partnerships and Australia's commitment to clean energy innovation.

Eurostar is setting the pace for sustainability in the rail industry, committing to use 100% renewable energy by 2030. Their ambitious goal of sourcing 100% renewable energy by 2030 is a beacon of hope for the railway sector and an example of how businesses can take concrete steps towards reducing their carbon footprint. Eurostar's commitment to sustainability goes beyond renewable energy. They're focusing on circularity to minimize waste and use resources more effectively, and they're attracting more passengers to their low-carbon service by connecting with domestic networks and long-haul flights. This multi-pronged approach is a testament to Eurostar's commitment to leading the way in sustainable rail travel. We believe it's crucial for all railway providers to follow in Eurostar's footsteps. Sustainability is not just a buzzword - it's an imperative for the survival of our planet. What do you think? Are there other railway companies that you know of who are making similar strides in sustainability? And how can the rail sector as a whole accelerate its shift towards sustainable practices? Let's start a conversation in the comments below. #deployrecruit #renewableenergy #sustainability #railwayindustry

Our CEO, Robert Gibson, MIET, talks to Rail Industry Connect about HydroShunter and how hydrogen can help shape the future of zero carbon rail.
"The rail industry offers a cleaner mode of transport than others, but fuel alternatives are needed to reduce its annual global emissions, which, according to the latest statistics, stand at 94.6 million metric tonnes of CO2. Hydrogen offers a scalable, sustainable solution." In this article, Robert Gibson, MIET, CEO of Vanguard Sustainable Transport Solutions, explains how the organisation’s HydroShunter innovation can lead a hydrogen-powered revolution in rail decarbonisation.

Pioneering Green Shipping: UK-Ireland Corridor to Reduce Emissions 🚢 UK port operator Peel Ports Group and NatPower Marine have announced an exciting initiative to establish the UK's first green shipping corridor between the UK and Ireland. This groundbreaking project will see the development of a commercial electric ship (e-ship) charging network across eight ports operated by Peel Ports Group, with an estimated investment of £100 million. Sustainability Goals: The project aims to reduce emissions from maritime transport by supporting electric propulsion and cold ironing, enhancing sustainable port operations in the region. Strategic Impact: This corridor will set a new standard for green maritime transport, promoting cleaner energy usage and reducing the carbon footprint of shipping activities. Read more about this initiative here (Energy Live News). https://lnkd.in/eft_ug4i How do you think this green shipping corridor will impact the future of maritime logistics? #GreenShipping #Sustainability #MaritimeInnovation #CleanEnergy #Logistics

Net-Zero Seaports Today, I'd like to delve into a topic that's both challenging and promising - transforming seaport operations to achieve net-zero emissions. 🚢🌿 Seaports are the lifeblood of global trade, but they also contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. The task of making their operations net-zero is complex, but it's a challenge we can tackle head-on for the sake of our planet and future generations. 🌎💚 So, how can we make seaport operations more sustainable? Green Shipping: Encouraging the use of low-emission or zero-emission vessels can significantly reduce emissions. This could be achieved through incentives or regulations by the regulators. Electrification of Port Equipment: Transitioning to electric or hydrogen-powered machinery, such as cranes and forklifts, can drastically cut down on emissions. Optimizing Cargo Handling: By improving logistics and using data-driven approaches, we can reduce energy waste and increase efficiency. Sustainable Fuels for Port Operations: Investing in research and development of sustainable fuels like biofuels and hydrogen can provide long-term solutions for powering port operations. Onsite Renewable Energy: Installing solar panels, wind turbines, or even exploring tidal energy can help ports generate their own clean energy. Remember, every step towards sustainability, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goal. Let's work together to make our seaport operations cleaner, greener, and more sustainable. 🤝🌱 #NetZero #SeaportOperations #Sustainability #GreenEnergy #ClimateAction #energytransition
