Abstract:Locomotives, trucks, and cargo-handling equipment in and around railyards contribute to air pollution concerns for surrounding communities and railyard workers. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is exploring a Technology Innovation for Energy-Efficient Railyards (TIEER) Initiative, which would focus on implementing zero-emissions projects. This report discusses the concept of TIEER, the benefits of replacing or retrofitting equipment to zero-emission versions, including the opportunity to modernize and optimize equipment tailored to the railyard’s needs, and considerations for conducting a TIEER pilot study. This report also provides an overview of zero-emissions technologies, funding opportunities for zero-emission equipment, and case studies of select zero-emissions projects.
