Synopsis
Decarbonisation momentum across the global transport market is increasing as shifts in business, consumer, regulatory, policy and investor thinking are driving change.
On the heels of the COP 27 climate summit, the global market push towards reducing emissions from infrastructure projects and operations particularly in rail transport, is strengthening.
Investors and financiers are looking for green projects to invest in, making rail an attractive long-term investment choice. Due to rail’s popularity as a low carbon mass transit option, the global rail sector is experiencing immense opportunity and expected to grow faster than any other infrastructure sector. However, for railways to be able to meet whole life decarbonisation targets and for rail businesses to thrive in a net zero world, railways need to move beyond the status quo and transform as an industry. This means taking a ‘total system’ approach across business strategies and the railway life cycle – from planning and construction through to operations, maintenance, and end of life – and working collaboratively across value chains and other industries such as energy and technology sectors.
Taking a circular economy approach, which is being successfully adopted in other industries, offers railways a major opportunity to deliver decarbonisation targets and whole life efficiencies. This presentation will explore the fundamentals of circular economy for rail and demonstrate how it will support a necessary but cost-effective approach to managing rail infrastructure project implementation, operation and maintenance, and life cycle asset management.
