• Abstract:
  This report summarizes a series of three workshops on rail decarbonization hosted by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). These internationally attended workshops laid the foundation for future decarbonization research topics, funded through FRA’s Research, Development, and Technology (RD&T) Program’s Broad Agency Announcement (BAA; FRA, BAA Web Page, 2023). The BAA’s Energy and Emissions topic statement within the Rail Energy, Emissions and Engine (Rail E3) Technology Research Program is a direct result of the first two workshops. This program prioritizes research into the safety and efficacy of emissions reduction and energy efficiency improving technologies.
