ISAFRT 2009 |
The first International Seminar on Alternate Fuels for Rail Traction (ISAFRT) is a Seminar devoted to examining the various Alternate Fuels for Rail Traction. The rising cost of fossil fuels coupled with the enormous pressures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have brought the Railways to face its biggest challenge yet - to find an energy efficient, effective and sustainable alternative to diesel oil and coal. Although rail is one of the most environmentally sustainable modes of transport, there a lot that can be done to reduce the impact of fossil fuels, especially with the operating margins under tremendous pressure with rising prices of fuel The Seminar shall try to address two crucial issues - short term challenges and a long term strategy by gathering experts from the rail industry, rolling stock manufacturers and fuel suppliers to tackle both the immediate and the long-term problems facing the rail industry in assessing the future source of power for rail traction. The Seminar promises to be an innovative forum for industry experts to share practical results from pioneering pilot-tests, research and a valuable meeting ground to exchange notes about the latest developments on the next step for rail fuel. A must for anybody connected with Rail.
